I can see where twitter would be good for businesses. Companies could announce sales,new store locations, store hours, upcoming products, or any other news about the company. I think twitter could have a bigger impact on society, specifically the entertainment industry. Many famous people already have twitter and use it to tell everyone about everything they are doing in their lives. Actors will use it to announce release dates for upcoming movies, rappers and bands will use it to announce tour dates and release dates for albums. Another thing that twitter will do is cause controversy for those same celebrities. It is already happening right now because so many people just write whatever they are feeling on blogs like twitter. They don't think they just type and once you put something out there like that you can't take it back.
