I almost can’t believe how people are starting to jump on the Twitter pipe, but it’s not the individual users that surprises me.  No, not at all.  People do that sort of thing.  It’s that businesses are not only signing up for accounts but that they are also actively Tweeting.  Sure, anyone can use an automated TweetFeed to share new posts with followers, but it takes a real life person to carry on conversations and respond to fellow Tweeters.  (I can only imagine it’s the daily duty of an intern, but still.  Someone is getting paid to Tweet.)

I’m particularly pleased with @News10_CA and their posting.  We’ll see how long it lasts, though.  I’ve found that a lot of these company accounts don’t last long when it comes to updating regularly.  Time will tell.
