I like your list. I have 2 more to add:

1. I find the best business use of twitter is not just to promote your business related links but to engage with customers with real conversations.

You can find who are your evangelist customers and build out an influencer network of users by helping them out on twitter.

2. Also, In one instance I found a pr person looking to talk to a real customer on twitter and helped make that connections so we got an authentic pr story w/o any work of the pr team.

Your comments concerning the deveopment of this type of social networking is commendable. I am realatively new to tweeting but the information you can obtain within those little 140 characters is invaluable. If it continues to progress as it has, It should prove an exceptional asset to anyone willing to take a little time to listen.

Thanks for your post. You’ve raised some really good points about who else is online too and how we can use that.

Excellent post. I have been on twitter for several months now, but have not really used its real potential. I do like some of your ideas.

Thanks,

Great post! I think there are many uses for product management including problem and feature validation and requirement collaboration.

Hi Gopal,

Great piece, and the GTW example is perfect. Twitter and all these other tools are as much (if not more) about listening as publishing.
