My Twitter lessons .. No 5 (The Experiment)

Yesterday my daughter came back from university, having just completed her degree in Art History.  She wants to work in an art gallery but apparently, it is hard to get in without an entree.  I thought this might be a good case for trying the power of Twitter as a random engine generator.   So I sent out the following tweet:-

“My daughter needs experience working in art gallery/South of England(pref. Surrey/London)can anyone help? PLS RT!!!”

Now I have about 2,000 followers, and it was retweeted (passed on) to another 8,800 people.  I got back about 4-5 helpful ideas or maybes and eventually had an interesting conversation with a gallery owner in New York about a possible tie-up.  Now We still need to do better, but what an interesting start in 24 hours and for very little effort.

PS>>> if you can help please do get in touch!!
