Why I tweet:

If you have come to this page you either found it through Google search or clicked through from my twitter profile.

I use twitter for making personal and business contacts and to converse with people in the hospitality industry, I am not on twitter to sell a product or a service, I am on it to network and learn and gain information (and have fun).

Yes I will admit that I am a marketer. designer and consultant, that said, I promise to never try to sell you on any of my services or send you annoying direct messages selling my services. If I have followed you it's because I am interested in the industry not because I want you to use me as a vendor. If you decide to come to me for services through your own free will (no arm twisting required) I will do the best I am able to help you with ever you need.

The majority of my business is referrals (I like that and don't like to go fishing, but if you happen to see something you like and you refer someone else to me, I do give referral points for you to use as you please.) No strings attached.

I do promise to link to as many interesting hospitality related articles as I come across in my daily reading, post some hospitality related tips, talk to other hospitality people and be occasionally inane and sarcastic. I try not to tweet about my morning coffee but will occasionally gripe about my internet provider being offline or just being clueless.

If this doesn't interest you, please don't follow me or follow me back and waste your own time. I won't be offended.

If you follow me and I don't follow you back and you really want me to follow you for "...............reason" please @forfeng and tell me why.  I do pay attention to my @s or even better, pick up the phone and give me a ring.

The History of Forfeng

The origin of the name Forfëng is from an old Norwegian family name. Forfëng was a champion log roller in the fjords of Norway, who was absolutely fearless when leaping from rolling log to rolling log.  Anyone in the family even five generations later (that would be Heather T.) being regarded as a bit out of the box, was known as a Forfëng.





My twitter rules to live by:

I don't follow anyone or follow anyone back that has "expert, guru or media maven" in their profile unless they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they really are. If you can compete with @mashable and @unmarketing I will consider it.

I don't follow people or follow them back who have used those silly "get more followers on twitter" or "make money using twitter" services. Twitter is not a grade school contest and last I looked I was way beyond College. Quality over quantity!

No porn unless it's food porn and that has a totally different meaning.

If you DM me or spam me with sales junk I will unfollow you ASAP!!
