@ericaswallow necklace by Survival of the Hippest

Looking for creative ways to increase awareness of your social media presence? Hoping to jack up your following in new, innovative ways? Have you considered wearing your Twitter handle around your neck?

Survival of the Hippest (SOTH), a social media accessories company founded by @pluckypea and @phebenyc, now offers Twitter handle or hashtag necklaces, tie clips, pins, keychains, bracelets and anklets.

I wore my @ericaswallow necklace (pictured above) to SxSWi, the ultimate geek party, and had a lot of great feedback. I can’t say that the necklace was a direct link to the increase in followers that my Twitter account incurred, as I was also handing out Moo cards, featured on the @nytimes SxSW Twitter list and video-blogging for Invoke Media. But I can confess that without a doubt my geek-chic factor sky-rocketed and I felt awesome.
