Want to tweet at work, but only to work people? Have a closed network to only your company but in Twitter style? We had a great success story about

Ricardo Guerrero also spoke about Twitter. He's credited with much of the success that Dell has had with the use of this tool.
One of the biggest takeaways I got from him was the idea of ensuring your business has a human face behind its Twitter account(s). Dell does this in a really cool way on their

Interestingly enough, he mentioned being very concered with some of their accounts as to who they are following. Some accounts will only follow the other Dell accounts, but yet ensure that the person who responds to the Dell accounts (human) is listed on the first page as someone each of those accounts is following.
