It was a nice thing to do and pretty smart public relations too. When Katie Couric, or one of her many staff, saw Toronto Staff Sergeant Chris Boddy’s first day of school tweet, the little message was on its way to nearly 900,000 twitter followers of the TV celebrity. Boddy had sent a simple heartfelt message to kids to do the decent thing. He said: “Dear Students, if you see a kid eating alone in the cafe, say hello and join him/her. #thatisnice” That message was retweeted by Couric to her 898,917 followers the same day and has since gotten more than 1,500 retweets, Staff sgt. Boddy told CityNews he first noticed Couric’s handle appearing on his Twitter feed on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Boddy tweeted to his 9,255 followers, “Thanks SO much everyone for the 1500+ [retweets] of yesterday’s ‘#thatisnice’ back to school tweet!”
