Caught in the #SeaTweetStream
HAPPY FRIDAY, EVERYONE!
It’s time for another edition of Caught in the #SeaTweetStream, where we pick out and highlight some of the more interesting, relevant, and funny information floating around this week.
Do you think we’re missing something?
We accept submissions for all areas of this feature, so if you see something that you would like share with everyone, pass it to us and we’ll post it. And, of course, the more local it is, the better. Unfortunately, we won’t be able post everything, but we would love it if this section of the blog were built by the Seattle social media community.
Please send them to kenjionozawa@hotmail.com.
Enjoy!
