noticed ps thread on the food trucks (dumplings, waffles) using twitter . . .
just after I heard about the Israeli Consulate doing a "press conference" today on Twitter

Earlier today, however, I discovered that the Israeli Consulate in New York City had launched two Twitter accounts @israelconsulate and @DavidSaranga ... And I immediately started following them. David Saranga is the Consul of Media and Public Affairs -- essentially the public diplomacy person at the consulate. Notably, he is the person behind the so-called "beer n' babes" campaign of 2007 that ran in Maxim Magazine in which Maxim sent photographers to Israel for an Israeli women photo shoot.

After following them on Twitter, I discovered this: Tomorrow, Tuesday December 30 from 1-3pm Eastern, the Consulate General of Israel in New York will be hosting a 'Citizens "Press" Conference' to discuss the conflict in Gaza IN TWITTER! (On January 30 we are planning to do a Twitter press conference for the Understanding Islam through Virtual Worlds project following our formal event on January 29.)
