A pizza joint in the Bay Area called Patrix is offering folks a deal if they send a tweet from the business and show their server their phone. In other words, promote us to your friends, and you get a special on the spot.
As TechCrunch points out, Twitter has a unique advantage over the Foursquare method of “checking in” (which Patrix Pizza also uses) because Twitter has a tremendously larger user base. And as Twitter rolls out, as promised, more location-awareness features along with small business tools, there’s some real potential here. If they execute well, I believe that Twitter could become the coupon platform of the future.
