However, despite the unusual name, as Twitter grows so will its ties to the world of business. This begs the question, how is Twitter a powerful tool for businesses?

If you’re not familiar with Twitter, it is a microblogging tool, which in essence gives users 140 characters with which to communicate. Examples of posts include links to articles, advice, self-promotion, questions, and statements about what people are currently doing.(...)
