Onionring newsletter released - OMG another great newsletter from Onionring, LOL

As you know Onionring is a cool site, and we are down with the kids...if you haven’t noticed we have been tweeting and facebooking (think that’s what the youth of today are calling it). So get yourself involved, "why bother?!" I hear you say... we will post some great last minute restaurant deals and offers. Getting you even better deals and getting them out to you even quicker! Come on, join in now, its lot's of fun (honest), plus its cool (we think).

Are you a fb'er or a twitterer?!

Whether Facebook or Twitter, you'll need to sign up first. It should only take a couple of minutes and you can skip many of the steps. If in doubt, skip it - you can always come back later.

What is Twitter?

Twitter helps people communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent, 140 character messages. Choose whose messages you want to receive and how you want to receive them, or search all Twitter updates to see what people are talking about.


Become and Onionring Follower... but what is following?

Following someone on Twitter means getting their updates in your personal timeline. If you follow Poshy, you'll get her updates on your homepage when you log in, or on your phone if you've added it. Your follower/following stats are listed on your profile page, and if you follow someone, they can send you private tweets, called direct messages, too.


What is a Facebook Page?

Pages are for organizations, businesses, celebrities, and bands to broadcast great information to fans in an official, public manner. Like profiles, they can be enhanced with applications that help the entity communicate with and engage their fans, and capture new audiences virally through their fans' recommendations to their friends.

You can create and manage a Facebook Page for your organization from your personal account. You can create a Page here. Please note that only the official representative of an organization, business, celebrity, or band is permitted to create a Page.
