		<description>Hi Scott,

On small and large businesses using twitter.

Front End: Main difference is really dependent on what is your purpose of using twitter. E.g. if you purpose is customer service, then there is a tendency for more @reply and chat streams. Check out @wholefoods for reference. Some larger business tends to be a little more reserve in using twitter, and use it more for pushing out info streams.

BackEnd: Oh, big difference, they could be having one person managing one twitter account, they would have a larger team to do online surveying as well.

Facebook &amp; Twitter integration is quite an obvious choice as they are the high traffic sites. On this -&gt; [very small “mom &amp; pops”] &amp; [big guys like Queensland and Goode] it’s not just pure Social Media but rather being “found” on the internet. I would say SM is like a fast track entry point. If we are on the web, we are under the mercy of Google, why? Because it’s the largest search engine.

Last but not least, I googled around your wine shop, you have a lot of room to increase exposure. You are doing not too bad... I&#039;ve seen your twitter stream.</description>

		<description>Great advise but what do you think about the differences of small vs large businesses using Twitter?  We&#039;re a small wine shop, but we&#039;re doing a lot on Facebook &amp; Twitter - we just launched a promotion for someone to win a B&amp;B Dream Vacation along the Blue Ridge Parkway yesterday to see how very small &quot;mom &amp; pops&quot; can use social media to get the sort of results that the big guys like Queensland and Goode are doing.  We&#039;ll see if people are as competitive to get a vacation as they are to get a job.  More info here: http://whyineedabreak.ning.com</description>
