The Powers of Social Media Series (Part One): Buying Furniture

Welcome to Part 1 of the Powers of Social Media Series.

The story goes: I live at home with my parents. I want them to buy a solid timber lowline entertainment audio visual unit for our television. I did not know where to buy one of better quality for less cash money (which is the goal for most of my things in life).

I put the call out on Twitter.

I got this back.

@Chanoz79 on Twitter (who I don't know) decides (on his OWN accord) to 'check out names of stores' because it's easy for him as he's in Richmond. The next day:

He sent me 12+ stores. What a MAN! That weekend, my mum, dad and me (my sister didn't come because she wasn't feeling well) went and looked at the shops. We haven't bought anything yet which would mean that this post should or could wait till we do buy something, but that's not the point. We will buy something, likely from one of the above stores and they have @Chanoz79 on Twitter to thank for it.

Do you guys have any Powers of Social Media stories?
