A lot of people in business don't realize there, are alot of people involved with twitter, alot! This means associates of yours will be reading about your company and the good things that go with it. For non-profit groups this is perfect. They don't have to pay a thing, and they can get there messages out there for everyone to read.

Another great resource of twitter is is breaks news faster then others. Which, lets face it, PR people need to know what is going on. We are there to be involved with news and know it and know people's opinion about it.
