Don’t Worry! Ashton and Demi are Okay!

Thank goodness for People magazine.

They let us know that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore suffered no injuries Thursday when their plane to New York had to make an emergency landing because (apparently) the engine overheated.

They told the world about this on Twitter. Tweeted Demi, “Yep it is always an adventure in Vegas emergency landing and all”. Tweeted Ashton, “Fire engines everywhere good times.” Good times indeed!

In case you were wondering, the couple were in Vegas for the premiere of Ashton’s new movie, Spread. Am not familiar with it. If you see it, tweet us.

Attention Twitterati: Can You Tweet Once a Minute – for 3 Days?

If you can tweet every minute for 3-days straight – you could win a round-the-world ticket from V Australia.

Bad news: you kind of have to be based in Australia to enter (which explains the delightful kangaroo at left) – or, you could just play along for the sheer fun of it!

Anyway, you go to the V website, and they’ll explain how you tweet about why you want to enter – and then you are sent to Los Angeles, where you vie against other Twittering teams (not sure why you have to go there to do it – sort of blows the whole point of a trip to LaLaLand). Anyway, the winning team gets the round-the-world trip.

Of course, by this time, you’ve probably used up all your available vacation, and will no doubt have to pass the trip along to some deserving person (she said, humbly and earnestly). Get going, it all starts this month.

Here is Why Twitter is REALLY REALLY Worth Doing

Do you follow FareCompare on Twitter? You should.

Because FareCompare now has Tweets tailored to your home airport. Get it? That means you get a real-time heads-up about the deals that really matter to you.

You know how Rick Seaney is always saying that airlines never put a planeload of seats on sale – only a few of those seats are the super-cheapies. Okay, so if you get these new FareCompare tweets that tell you about the deals you want instantly – you’ll be first in line to grab one of these super-cheapies. And then you, my friend, will be a winner.

And you barely have to lift a finger. Okay, maybe one – so you can click here to follow FareCompare’s tweet from your home airport – just put in your airport and then click “follow” and you are good to go.

Try it. You will like it – because you will save a ton of money.
