I often hear colleagues in the PR and communications industries saying that some of their clients still need persuading that Twitter has a relevance to business. So I wanted to start making a note of some of the uses we’re seeing of Twitter, and start collecting links to articles that might be useful in helping to show how businesses are using it in a meaningful way. I’ll also put these up onto my delicious profile.
Today’s links are:
Retailers: article from Retail Week by Joanna Perry. Includes analysis of how Shop Direct is monitoring what consumers are saying about the ‘old’ Woolworths, as it prepares to relaunch the brand online.
The Twitter world: a great article from the New York Times that I’ve mentioned in a previous blog
And the flip side: do Twitter and other social media give too loud a voice to a minority of people in some cases? This is a great analysis of the Motrin and Skittles social media issues, from eConsultancy. Very relevant in light of the Dominoes incident.

What a cool idea. I will keep checking back to see any new examples you find and will point any clients that we have that still need convincing in this direction.
Thanks Paul. I've been very bad at blogging recently (where has the year gone!) but will revisit this over the next few days.
