Creating Community
To spread the word about TidyBot, I made a Facebook page
and posted it to my wall, asking people to comment and like
as they pleased. I also told my mom about it and she told some
of her friends about it. The response mostly had to do with word
of mouth and a pleasant reaction from potential “buyers.”
