Twitter has helped me do so much, from moving out-of-state to finding a hotel, to getting help with my auto insurance policy. Twitter has changed my life, by adding the ease of obtaining information in one median. To further explain, I’ll discuss my some of my social media experiences.

I own a Harley Davidson, and I wanted to load on my truck. After days of researching ramps on Google, I turned back to Twitter and posted my frustrations. Within minutes I got many responses; on what products to use, video’s of ramps and bikes gone wrong, in addition to, having a Harley dealership offer to put the bike on the back of the truck! Furthermore, thanks to Twitter, I was able to have one HD dealership put the bike on the truck at point A and another helped take it off at point B.

In addition to this move, I had to update my auto insurance. I was able to get all the information and customer service done via Twitter, never picked up the phone! Progressive reps were very helpful, and even supplied me with links to coupons for the International Motorcycle show that was now in closer proximity to were I had relocate to.

Another great example was when I was planning a trip with a friend to go to Asia. We began asking questions on twitter, on where to go, where to stay and even eat and shop. We got loads of suggestions. So, we began taking some of the recommendations seriously, especially since a few places were brought to our attention numerous times. Through the use of social media we were able to choose a hotel, airline, restaurants and places for entertainment in all our Asia destinations.

These are just a few examples of how my life has been transformed by social media, more specifically Twitter.
