When MaryKay Carlson, the Charge d’Affaires at the US Embassy in New Delhi, wanted to wear a saree for India’s 71st Independence Day, she decided to ask Twitter users to help her choose one. And while attending celebrations in the Capital, Carlson wore the saree of the voters’ choice and shared a photo of herself.
For a month, Carlson embarked on a mission to find the perfect saree. Using the hashtag #SareeSearch, she tweeted photos and videos and asked people to share their views. And after narrowing down the selection to four sarees — Jamdani, Dupion, Kanjeevaram and Tussar — she created a Twitter poll. Nearly 2,000 Twitter users voted to help her decide.
