It is amazing to me that in this day and age of Web 2.0 technology and Social Media there are still some major corporations that have not embraced the Twarketing boom that is occurring right now. Some of the companies that have currently impressed me the most on Twitter are not even part of the Fortune 100.
Whole Foods, Jet Blue, Woot, SouthWest Airlines and Zappos are taking advantage of Twitter’s market potential. Most of the Fortune 500 are missing the boat on this one and I just want to let it be known who they are and ask my readers to help me catalog those that I have missed.
If corporations want to find out the dos and don’ts for Twarketing please check out Social Marketing Guru Jeremiah Owyang’s Blog or my previous post on Jeremiah’s best blog post about Twitter http://twarketing.com/2008/08/20/twarketing-jeremiah-owyang-twittercomjowyang/

Hi, I am the social media PR guy at the CarMax home office in Richmond, VA. I have been on Twitter for awhile now as CarMaxChris. CarMax, a Fortune 500 company, adn one of the Fortune 2008 “100 Best Companuies to Work For,” is the nation's largest retailer of used cars. I invite everyone to follow me on twitter.
The @MicrosoftVista feed looks faux. That is unless MS marketing has gone way off the reservation.
Hey Jim,
After reading some of the Tweets I would have to agree with you. I will unlink that Twitter address from the list.
Thanks again

Chris

Update your Twitter randomly according to your intrest Or, from Rss Feed Or, from your own tweet message list Or, Any combination of the above three http://feedmytwitter.com
I never heard about http://www.wachoviabank.com like this before. Thank for this.
[…] would be cool if every Fortune 500 company wanted to be on Twitter, but the reality is that they don’t, and often for very legitimate reasons. If what we’re doing […]
There is another link under the category of personal finance but it has nothing to do with finance. If you have difficulties in making payment, you can click the link named wachoviabank.com. You will have an expert helping you to fix your problems and you don’t have to go out of your home to get the service. What you need to do is to choose a button between the two “call us today” and “we’ll call you”. Don’t you think this service shows the attentiveness and consideration of the Wachovia? It’s really good in my opinion.
Quality plastic ID card manufacturers include Evolis, Fargo, Zebra, Datacard and Magicard. These wells fargo bank locations manufacturers provide printers for simple ID card printing and span the various needs with various models that produce highly secure cards that need to be printed in high volume. With just a bit of research, it is easy to narrow down the printers available to a few that will perfectly meet the requirements of your organization.
The insurance companies are on top!
