What could happen if you had a lot of hyper-connected geeks who are comfortable using Twitter in room to retweet in a concentrated amount of amount? In the analysis, one thing I learned was the importance of instant thank yous - not only via Twitter, but other way channels. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ guilda <a href="http://www.widecircles.com" rel="nofollow">Social Bookmarking</a> The experiment was to test Twitter’s speed.

I think we are still early enough to say this is one of the first ;) But thanks for pointing out the other examples. But... My trouble is, how does this really help existing organizations?
