Last week I had to get some blood work done. So I visited the website of a nationwide laboratory corporation that has a branch located near where I live. While hunting for the link to schedule an appointment, I came across a link urging me to follow the corporation on Twitter. I clicked on the link, being curious as to what a blood lab would tweet about.
Apparently nothing. They have 0 tweets and they’re following 0 other accounts. But they do have 560 followers. You know just who those people are – employees who don’t want to look bad and companies that do business with the lab. Maybe I’m just being cynical, but I think some web consultant told them that they need to be on Twitter to look modern and in-touch.
This lack of tweets is a huge waste. Imagine some of the awesome tweets they could put out, just for fun:
Our Ballard location will be closed 6/1 due to another vampire break-in. Sorry for any inconvenience.

As always, suggestions are welcome. And please have a great weekend.
Mario’s right Tom, there’s a job screaming out for you there. Have a chat with them and tell them that you’re a positive dude even though your blood type is b-negative!
Apologies for that pun Tom, it’s 9:20 am on Sunday and Bill Y has no right to be awake.
Ha! You should tell them to hire you to tweet for them.
