BTW: I'm one of Albion's followers. Albion is in London. I'm in the states. I see there morning tweets all the time. Unfortunately I can't easily get over there to buy one. Wondering if those tweets get me to buy a local croissant now and then. hmmm :D Excellent examples, Matt. those are are creative. BTW: I’m one of Albion’s followers. Albion is in London.

Most of the examples I cited above are not businesses that were already well known. Heck, in #2 that's a restaurant that hadn't even opened. :-) These are examples of how businesses who are not well known are using Twitter to become well known. Thx for all the comments, folks. :) Hillel – may I ask, did you actually read the article? Most of the examples I cited above are not businesses that were already well known.

I was in Ellensburg, WA. I found a place with good wireless and great soup; so, I posted it. Within 10 minutes I had a message from an Ellensburg business group thanking me for saying good things about Ellensburg businesses. Now I stop there every time I head west.

No doubt about it, being creative with Twitter can pay off, and while it's not for everyone, your post shows that Twitter can be useful if people are willing to go outside the lines with it. thanks! excellent examples – it’s interesting to note most of them are in the food/restaurant industry.

Its not so effective for the small business owner. I think Twitter is only effective for companies or individuals who are already well known. Its not so effective for the small business owner.

The one thing I hate to hear is 'what do I write' - its difficult to get to gripes with at first but a number of our clients are now extremely proactive in using Twitter and are receiving a vast amount of traffic (not to mentioned increased sales).
