Twitter Adventures lead to Oyster Adventure
by Lynne | Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Watch our latest video blog. Everyone makes fun of Twitter. How does it work? What is the point? Well, we’re here to tell you that it’s a great way to meet cool, like-minded people like Erin Byers Murray (Twitter handle, ErinBMurray) and the team at Island Creek Oysters. When we saw the teeny icon photo of Erin in waders, we were intrigued so we read her mini bio and realized that she was a writer who had switched careers to farm oysters. We soon reached out to her and arranged a visit to Island Creek to capture on film what many of us will never be fortunate enough to experience in real life – how our favorite mollusks grow.

While it’s a lot of hard work, there is clearly a feeling of peace and serenity you can only experience by working on the water. Watch for the Island Creek Oyster Farm Tour video in the next week or so. But in the meantime, enjoy this video blog we shot on location. Notice how much more zen we are than normal.
Thank you to Erin, Skip, Shore, Andy and all the other fabulous folks at Island Creek. And if you live in the New England area, be sure to attend their Oyster Festival in September.
Oh, and if you haven’t tried Twitter, give in. Have fun with it. You can follow Erin, how2heroes, your favorite restaurants, celebrities and share thoughts on what you’re up to that you think other people might care about. Believe it or not, they do!
