The Nerf gun Neiman set up for its Tweet to Shoot project.
Wanna go Duck Hunt-ing with a Twitter-powered Nerf gun?
Center City-based marketing company Neiman Group made that happen last week: tweet with the #tweetoshoot hashtag and that would cause a Nerf dart to peg an old-fashioned NES duck from Duck Hunt. (These are the same people who used Foursquare checkins to gauge cheesesteak joint approval.)
More than 1,500 shots were fired via Twitter, spokeswoman Caitlin Vivian tells us. Check out an illustration of the gun in action below.
