@hannibalburess has the right idea

Hannibal Buress is one of my new favorite comedians. I was first introduced to him when he performed with Aziz Ansari in Boston . He is doing something interesting with his Twitter bio that I just noticed today when researching his next show in Boston (It’s Feb 24 at Great Scott).

Buress included the first 4 dates from his 2012 tour in his bio (screenshot above) -  this is interesting because a Twitter user who either follows the comedian or sees a retweet of content that he shared is apt to click on his profile for more info. I don’t have hard numbers, but would assume that the conversion from viewing a Twitter user’s bio to clicking on the link within the profile is low. Making the bio portion of a Twitter profile dynamic and useful as opposed to some static blather is a creative use that engages THIS user. I would love to know if it ends up converting more Twitter users into going to see Hannibal Buress perform - my bet is that it probably does. This only works if the content is always kept up-to-date. I hope that it ends up generating more attendance for Buress.
