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/
