Twittering and tweeting…pondering business uses for twitter.com

I had a friend today miss a leading meeting that he NEVER misses.  No explanation by the substitute leader at first so I took it upon myself to stalk him via Tweeter.com.  Via his real-time blog ala tweeting, I found out that his mother was in the hospital undergoing bipass surgery.  I text messaged him my thoughts and prayers.  I then told the people in the meeting that he and his mom were doing well.  Finally I saw a use for this tweeting thing.But it got me to thinking…what about business uses are there any here? Right up front I thought…delivery drivers = pizza, low cost couriers/shippers, moving vans.  What about mundane things like garbage trucks…wouldn’t it be great if you knew when that guy was going to pick up you bags.  Maybe you could sleep in.  I will think of more but in the meantime check it out.  Start tweeting here   I also found a tool that saves me from tweeting my fingers off via my phone.  Snitter does it on my mac…and introduces you to Adobe’s new platform Adobe AIR…another subject for another day
