Twitter has been very beneficial for my online boutique, specializing in women's plus size clothing and lingerie, http://www.Cherished-Woman.com . Customers love to receive promotions and other news via Twitter!

My business, http://www.lagrandedame.com is on Twitter and it is a great way to share sale information, converse with our customers about the products that they like and most importantly, it is a great way for us to encourage our customers to share links to our various products and encourage their followers to check us out.

My new company, http://www.WikiCity.com has harness the power of "hyper-local" twitter feeds on every single one of our 22,000 local communities. What's more, everytime someone edits our wiki, an automated "tweet" is generated, thus attracting even more visitors to our site.

Long live Twitter!

I think twitter is a great tool. Being a non profit we have a limited budget, I was able to use twitter to market us, get new clients and strike up a lucrative partnership. We are finding twitter a great way to stay intouch with our sponsors and use it to promote the sponsors and clients!
