That's the kind of "marketing-led" response I was hoping to hear.
But the UK National Rail system now uses Tweets to tell customers about
disruptions on the trains, and several major UK government departments
and news organisations use it for announcements and "Breaking News".
So has it become "respectable" yet?
When there are open-source equivalents available (e.g. Laconica,
OpenMicroBlogger - both of which incidentally are compatible since they
are based upon the OMB spec), I do wonder why a commercial or government
entity would use a closed-source, non-domestic service.
