The DowntownDC BID is now on Facebook, officially joining more than 750 million businesses and individuals who actively exchange information. Our first test message, about The Source (575 Pennsylvania Avenue) restaurant, was posted on July 14. Other communiqués, including those about mobile food trucks, Capital Bikeshare and the National Cherry Blossom Festival’s Centennial Preview Luncheon, followed. The BID first jumped into social networking this year. In addition to Facebook, you can follow us now on Twitter (where we have 696 followers and have posted more than 2,000 tweets) and visit our blog at www.downtowndcbid.com. There’s plenty to share, and these social networking tools enable us to more efficiently and conveniently keep the Downtown community and other stakeholders informed and engaged. So, in the spirit of Facebook, we look forward to friending you!
