Interesting ariticle you found there Rob. I never thought of a fire department or police department using Twitter to update people in the community. I think the more that professionals view Twitter as a tool rather than a social media site, they will be more apt to use it.

It's really a good marketing tool if you think about it. Places like grocery stores can easily update their customers on specials.

Now I'm going to have to go out there and see what companies Twitter and start following them.

Edit: Here's a link to a blog where someone posted a list of companies who use Twitter.

Interesting article. I know one of the local news stations here has a commercial that says they are on Twitter. I saw it the other day and meant to mention it to you guys but I forgot!

Just signed up an account. Would be interesting to see Bloomberg on twitter...

That is a really interesting idea! However, if companies start using Twitter they can also use it for spammy ads as well. There's always a flip side to anything new, I guess.

Seems somebody is doing it already. A company called stockwits is using Twitter to display companies' info ala Bloomberg. Check out Twitter is the New Bloomberg.
