BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - These days many people stay connected on Facebook or Twitter. We even tweet at News 4.
Most of us have heard of Twitter before, the social networking site that keeps you in contact with friends, family and co-workers, by continually posting short answers to the question "what are you doing now."
But now we can bring Twitter a lot closer to home with Buffalo Tweets .
Buffalo Tweets uses the same concept as Twitter, but connects Buffalonians together to discuss a wide range of topics like jobs, music, shows, business and sports.
For example, under the jobs tab, you'll read about people's thoughts on the local job market, and some posts even provide links to local job openings.
You may learn about different restaurants under the food tab, and upcoming local gatherings under the events tab just to name a few.
Buffalo Tweets not only allows you to stay in contact with friends and family just like on Twitter, but the added benefit is everything is centered around western New York and Buffalo.
Creator of Buffalo Tweets Jason Armbruster said, "When you put it out to the 100 mile radius it encompasses everything from Toronto to Erie, PA."
You'll find events, restaurants, potential job openings, sports news, upcoming shows and more on Buffalo Tweets.
