Gear Diary Join Us Tonight for a Best Buy #GiftsThatDo Twitter Party photo

Last month we were part of Best Buy’s ‘Gift That Do’ promotion. As part of it we held a live Gifts That Do conversation during which we talked about tech gifts, answered questions and gave away four $25 Best Buy Gift Certificates.

Well, we are back for another ‘Gift That Do’ conversation and giveaway, but this time it will be happening on Twitter.

Date & Time: 
January 3, 2013
  7:30-8:30 p.m. CST

#GiftsThatDo

Our goal during the hour-long Twitter chat is to help mobile gift recipients to make the most of the gear they received last month. We’ll look at our #GiftsThatDo recommendations, and we’ll have some tips on how technology can help us reach our personal goals and pursue our passions in 2013.

The Twitter Party is also a chance for us to help. We know that many folks who return electronics gifts do so because they are having “trouble” with the gear. During our Twitter conversation, we will not only have members of the Gear Diary Team on hand to help troubleshoot, but a Best Buy Geek Squad Agent expert will with us to answer technical questions on how to use, support and/or troubleshoot mobile devices issues.

And there’s more. During the Twitter Party we will be giving away four $25 Best Buy gift cards to active chat participants. All you have to do for a chance to win is… join the conversation tonight.

We’ll be using #GiftsThatDo so watch for it along with @geardiarysite, @geardiary and @dmcohen and join the chat.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
