About

BostonTweet was created by Tom O'Keefe, and developed by Steve Callan, as a way to create awareness for local business in a down economy. Tom developed BostonTweet in November 2008 when the financial markets were at a precipitous decline and his two former startups had become worthless after the crash. Fearing that Boston would become a 1929 ghost town, O'Keefe created BostonTweet to make sure everyone knew that our favorite restaurants and bars were still open and needed our business for survival. Needing a very economical platform to promote local business, Twitter was hands down the best application to talk about everything Boston.

Boston Loves Food & Beer

After a few weeks of being online the number of informative tweets about local restaurants was so valuable that Tom called on Steve Callan to develop the current BostonTweet.com. BostonTweet.com indexes BostonTweet's tweets with the replies of followers to create a valuable resource for everything Boston. Perform a search for any food, restaurant or bar in Boston and you'll likely find honest & succinct feedback on the place. In addition to discovering great new bars and restaurants in this great city, BostonTweet also discovered that Boston really loves pizza, burgers, brunch, ice cream, and burritos!!
