I'm actually the only one within the company using Twitter, as I handle the our online presence. Like many Twitter users, I began dabbling with Twitter just to see what everybody was hymning and hawing about. In all honestly, other than to sort of keeping in touch with those I follow and those who follow me, I do not use Twitter all that much. However, I do believe that with enough followers, Twitter is a nice conduit for spreading timely and targeted information. For example, affiliate managers can use Twitter to relay specials or news to a core group of their affiliate partners, or maybe even to a select few Super Affiliates. Love the blog! Keep up the great work. - Eric Itzkowitz @Christine

She's also blogging about it with great success at http://savvyauntie.blogspot.com. I have to say that one of the reasons this might be working so well is that she IS one person blogging both personal and business, but whatever it is, it's successful. Christine -

This topic continues to inspire conversation and really - that's what we were hoping for. Hearing insights, experiments and feedback will help us all to - as Tyson said - learn and refine as we go. Doing so as a community and sharing our experiences will only make us all better at doing it right. Tyson - I look forward to watching what you will do with @goodlifeshared. Sounds like you are off to a great start. Kate, please share with us when your post is written - we'd love to read it as well. You can reach me directly @missusP or our corporate account @PerkettPR (where we share client and PR news, events updates, etc. - and for where we will now take into consideration your comments about letting people find and follow us first...I like that approach). Thank you for reading, commenting and sharing. Christine Tyson and Kate,

Wikispaces and diigo do an awesome job of using twitter searches to respond almost immediately to user concerns and frustrations about their services.
