TWEET! TWEET!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

By a show of hands, has anyone here tweeted recently? Some of you know what we’re talking about. Others may be wondering if we’ve lost our minds. We’ll explain.

You may remember last month we briefly mentioned Turkey Hill’s new account on Twitter. Twitter is a social networking website that allows you to post short, 140 character announcements (or “tweets,” which are about as long as that first paragraph) several times a day. You can “follow” other people’s tweets and people can follow yours. You can also talk back and forth with each other. In short, it’s a lot of fun.

We use our Twitter account to announce Turkey Hill related news and to chat with fans and customers. We also have contests and ask trivia questions, which makes things fun too. So far, we’ve got over 1,200 followers, and our our herd is growing quickly every day. You don’t have to be a registered Twitter user to read our tweets (just visit us at www.twitter.com/turkeyhilldairy), but you do have to register to write your own tweets and to follow our tweets and the tweets of others.

Oh, and Turkey Hill’s own Giant Cow has her own Twitter account too! She moo’s a lot, but thankfully she has a cow-to-English translator. Check her out at www.twitter.com/turkeyhillcow. For now, we’ll leave you with a joke the Giant Cow told via her Twitter account the other day:

Moooooooo? Mooooo! (TRANSLATION: How does a farmer count
a herd of cows? With a Cowculator!)

SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS AND THE BEST ICE CREAM PHOTO WE’VE SEEN ALL WEEK

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Just a couple announcements on this Independence Day eve, with a delicious photo at the end. First, we’d like to give a hearty welcome to all of our new readers who have visited and commented in the first few days of our National Ice Cream Month celebration. We hope many of you decide to stick around and become a part of our rapidly growing Ice Cream Journal family!

Second, we wanted to let you know that Turkey Hill is on Twitter. For those not familiar with Twitter (www.twitter.com), it’s sort of like a blog, but the entries are much shorter (no more than 140 characters) and more frequent (several times a day). You can check out our Twitter feed if you’d like or, if you’ve got a Twitter account of your own, you can follow us!

We should also tell you that we’ve got an Operation Hometown Hello contest using Twitter. If you take a photo of yourself (with your cell phone is fine) making a deposit in an Operation Hometown Hello box at a Turkey Hill Minit Market near you and send us a link to the photo via Twitter, you’ll be entered to win some fun Turkey Hill prizes. You get to donate to the troops AND maybe win a prize. It doesn’t get any better than that.

And now, your delicious ice cream photo. Please refrain from licking your computer screen.
