Credible case studies or examples of how people in organizations successfully use social communication channels like Twitter to connect and engage with customers are gold dust to anyone looking to make a case in their own organization. We know how Dell can make money out of Twitter – $6.5 million so far, they say.
It’s a terrific case study. Yet such an achievement can not only seem out of reach for many organizations, but also not necessarily reflecting their goals which may not be about making money directly from their Twitter activity. So it’s great when some details appear of what a handful of well-known international companies are doing and getting out of their use of Twitter.

Why Twitter Will Endure. “Anything that is useful to both dissidents in Iran and Martha Stewart has a lot going for it; Twitter has more raw capability for users than anything since e-mail,” said Clay Shirky, who wrote “Here Comes Everybody,” a book about social media. “It will be hard to wait out Twitter because it is lightweight, endlessly useful and gets better as more people use it.

And it gets better. Background, education, references? 1) Email me two tweets. So basically, if this application is more than 600 characters or so, you’re done. Think you can handle all that?
