HTC using Twitter
November 24, 2008 — srenziI was really surprised when I saw HTC using Twitter for important product announcements like:
“sad news, US. we looked into it- by the time we could bring Touch HD to the states, it would be old news. we do have other cool stuff coming”
After researching a little bit I realized that HTC is not the only big company using Twitter as an official communication channel.
Comcast (USA) is giving technical support, CNN interacts with listeners through Twitter and many others like airlines, retailers and media companies.
Here you will find a list of companies using twitter in different areas, like customer support, marketing, flight status and technical support among others.

Effective 11 November 2008 the twitter.com/fomocona was no longer being used for Ford Customer Service. The new official address is twitter.com/FordCustService. I manage both twitter addresses and the new name is part of the overall Ford presence on twitter (FordDriveOne for example). Thanks for keeping this list updated! Michael
