Wow, there is life between emails and blog posts?([inter-monologue] I wonder what it's like, boy what have I been doing with all my time) I just wish someone would comment on my blog...(sigh)

Have you guys seen any corporations use this successfully to report to a manager? So rather than a manager having a weekly meeting asking what each employee is working on, having them use a tool like twitter to stay up to date?

Hey Sam - great question. A number of orgs are using Twitter in various ways, among them SAP and the Red Cross. At this point, things are so new - it's up to you to write the book on how Twitter can be used in a corporate communications setting!

Seems like a great way to pass on the latest news albeit in a short format.
