Twitter is a slightley different, and easily overlooked, solution for getting your content out. Twitter is a social networking site that allows people to add others as friends and then update them on what they are currently doing or involved it. It can be as simple as saying "out to lunch" and as informative as what new item you have listed on your site. Whenever someone adds you as a friend their homepage will be updated with whatever message you post on Twitter. Users can receive messages from checking the site, through IM or even text message on their cell phone.

Twitter also creates badges that you can post on your site that shows what you are "currently" doing.

Here are some samples:

Woot -- This company sells one product a day at an extremely discounted price. They use Twitter to post their product each night to help people see what product they are selling that particular day.

CNN -- This site is used to inform friends of breaking news stories on CNN. It's a great way to get new news quickly.

Homepage -- This is a quick look at what a homepage looks like to those who subscribe to feeds. See how both company and friends comments are shown in the same way.
