kgb Launches Twitter Team

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Over the weekend, kgb Special Agents opened twitter pages and began looking for conversations about kgb. There have always been tweets about kgb, and I’ve been monitoring the sentiment about us for a while. Most of them are quite positive. Lots of kgb customers tweet the response they get from us to their questions because they thought it was so good, or funny, or cool. Sometimes, of course, we don’t get it right, and customers tweet about that too.

Often I’ll see tweets that compare us to Google, or ask why someone would use kgb instead of Google. Those are tweets we are particularly interested in responding to. We love Google and use it all the time ourselves. I don’t have to tell you how great it is at finding information. Everyone knows that.

But kgb is different. When you’re out and about, or when you need a quick, accurate answer to any question, anytime, anywhere, that’s when kgb is very useful and time-saving. And all you need is your mobile phone. So try us at 542542 and let us know what you think.

In the meantime follow our Twitter Team @kgbKathleen, @kgbAndrea, @kgbKris, @kgbTim, @kgbLori, @kgbLuana, @kgbJanny, @kgbStacy, @kgbSchiele, @kgbLindsay, and @kgbRosettaSue

kgb_ Special Agents are tireless and relentless in their search for the answers to America’s questions.  And what does America want to know, you ask?  Well, today’s buzz centers on a holiday shopping favorite, Big Mouth Billy Bass:

Is that singing fish on the wall still around?

Know more:

Big Mouth Billy Bass – The retro singing fish – Yay or nay?

Remember 10 years ago, we couldn’t get enough of Big Mouth Billy Bass.  No one belted out Bobby McFerrin’s Don’t worry, be happy” better than Billy.  And his other hit, “Take me to the river” was a huge smash.  But then he was gone, perhaps to the bottom of the river in a concrete suit…who knows for sure.

Well, he’s back baby

A technological “bass master” is resurrecting Billy from dusty basements and flea market sale tables.  Billy’s been hacked!  Billy’s brain has been embedded with cards, micro-controllers, thingamajigs and who knows what else to create a new space age Billy for all of us to embrace.

The new and improved Billy can say and sing just about anything now thanks to his spiffy upgrades.  He’s even synchronized with Twitter.

Check it out – Billy’s a bad boy now
