Twitter "Laundromat"

Twitter is much more interesting now that they've added the search feature. Now you can see what your customers are saying about you, your brand, a product or different subjects like I don't know... laundromats! It's extremely interesting to see what people are saying while at the Mat! Some are bitching about store owners, some are enjoying themselves and enjoy the 'whir' of the machines, others can't get a machine because it's so packed. The last quote directs to a blog post from a woman who describes a phenomenon at the MAT I wasn't aware of but wasn't shocked - regulars hogging machines (like the old ladies at the casinos).

Here are some highlighted quotes I saw today about the sexy subject of "laundromats":
