blog entries have; because you can write substantial emails, some
people will expect and demand that you do. (It's also more
intrusive than a Twitter feed.)</p>

We started doing it a few weeks ago at $work and it's been a moderate success.</p>
<p>Immediate contact and issue resolution with your customers is a double-edged blade when the conversation is out in the world, but overall I think it's definitely a Good Thing.</p>
<p>Another thing we've been thinking about is a private Twitter feed for internal use only, containing more specific information that is useful to co-workers but shouldn't be exposed to the world. For that, we were thinking of something like laconica. Haven't gotten very far on it, though.</p>
