It’s amazing how much the ability to send 140 characters to hundreds, thousands or millions of people at once can change the world. Everyone has their own reasons for using Twitter. Some fancy it for following friends. Many use it as a news source and others have an account even though they’re still not sure what Twitter is but just like being trendy. Media, news, gossip, our social lives and everything else has sped up, been facilitated and become more accessible since Twitter has become as common as facebook. The pluses and minuses of this can be argued, but there’s one thing that can’t- it’s changed the way we eat in LA. And this is a good thing. A very good thing. You’d have to be living under a rock to not have noticed the explosion of food trucks hitting the roads daily. And we’re not talking your typical taco trucks either. This new breed of meals on wheels features some of the most unique and yummiest food in LA - and it’s all thanks to Twitter. Because Twitter gives burgeoning chefs/food trucks free advertising and ability to reach costumers instantly. It’s made starting a new business a lot cheaper than opening a store front. Not just that- but the novelty of finding these trucks in different places is also exciting. There’s nothing like coming out of a bar at the end of the night and finding your favorite burger truck or strolling through Malibu and grabbing an ice cream sandwich from another. Our stomaches thank you, Twitter.
