Noticing that each tweet was formatted identically, I checked the details and, sure enough, it was autoposted by an app called Revinate.

Now, this could easily lead into a lengthy, but valuable, discussion about whether or not to autotweet/autopost, but let’s set aside that issue for today and just look at the content by itself so we don’t get sidetracked.

So, with a few characters, Timber Lodge is both:

  • Spreading the value of positive guest feedback through other channels
  • Encouraging more by showing that if you leave a good review they’ll put your name up in lights
  • Adding a bit of variety to the typical Twitter feed

A simple idea with simple execution and simple results. I like it.
