Every day it seems like there’s another example of a company or organization using Twitter for business purposes, and most recently one example caught my eye. As the mother of a 2-year-old boy, Thomas the Tank Engine is extremely popular in my house.  I came across an article earlier this week about the promoters of the Thomas the Tank Engine stage production using Twitter to promote their shows.  Now I wouldn’t normally think of using Twitter to promote a children’s program but I have to admit, it was great to see that the promoters are incorporating social media in their marketing efforts.  Time will tell if it worked for them, but it just goes to show you how many businesses are using Twitter to reach people.   I find it fascinating.
