twitter, as you should know, is a microblogging platform, which a) seems to have got over its problems and b) seems to be getting more and more popular and grabbing headlines on the web.

What has impressed me is the number of brands / companies / important and influential people on twitter. fluentsimplicity has a post here which has an excellent list. Have a look… pretty long isn’t it?

What strikes me is that there are not that many UK based companies that have cottoned on to the fact that twitter could be VERY useful to them. A bit like monitoring their online reputation - they don’t really get this.

Another industry which is seriously under-represented is the healthcare / pharma industry. Ok, they would have to be a little careful as it is strictly regulated, but honestly, most people use drugs (prescription ones!) or healthcare products. There is definitely an opportunity here, certainly for the more consumer-related brands.

Two of my clients are on twitter - Paul from purebeans, and Steve from hasbean. You can follow them here and here. (You can follow me here).
