So, my latest (sort of) rant has been completed about restaurants participating in New York Restaurant Week [#NYRW] without a decent social media presence.
The genesis of the semi-rant is the fact that there’s a bunch of us from the online world getting together to document our #NYRW experiences and we’d like our documentation to be conversational in nature. Since it’s hard to converse (NOT CONVERSATE) with air nor a brick wall, I decided to talk about it on Twitter. Additionally, since it’s not always easy to follow a veritable soliloquy in sub-140 character segments I am enlisting, for the first time, the help of Twitter’s embedded tweets to make more sense of my general ramblings thoughts.
Ok y’all… The time has come for a semi-rant… #notaboutRIMthough

So, I’m trying to get this #GlobalInfluencer dinner together for #NYRW with the following pre rewa: #semirant

By the way, “rewa” is supposed to be “reqs”. Damn you touchscreen auto-correct. Anyhoo, let’s resume…
Pre req #1 everyone can make it. Almost done *crossing fingers* #semirant
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
Pre req #2 the restaurant must be in midtown or further downtown… Easy enough thanks to @nycgo #semirant
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
Pre req #3 the restaurant must have a full #soMe presence… #monkeywrench #semirant

Why are there restaurants out there that are NOT getting they’re total proverbial social media on? #semirant
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
There are approximately 64857363849 restaurants in the area I’m looking that are participating in #NYRW #semirant
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
And how many have I found with an at least decent #soMe presence thus far? 8! Yes, 8. #semirant

See, the #GlobalInfluencers are heavy in online marketing and #soMe and we are going to talk about the experience to the millions…
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
…and millions of the #GlobalInfluencers’ fans for #NYRW but we can’t talk to the restaurant? #semirant
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
On a regular day I can hit up @TaoNY or @BBQNYC for example and have a CONVERSATION about the experience #semirant
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
Why are there still restaurants and other businesses for that matter on their own #brandwagon? #semirant
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
Are they in need of some assistance? Do they not understand the importance? I know people & places that will help #semirant

Shouts to the spots doin it well #semirant #LLreference Ok, I think I’m done #fornow
— The Gary J. Nix® (@mr_mcfly) January 13, 2012
Do you have any thoughts on this?
