Corporate Eavesdropping on Twitter…Cool?

So far, I think so.

I was having a late night twitter conversation with my pal Jevon and he was asking for a Stocktwits of restaurant reviews.

I said that it did not interest me because of the advertising revenue model.

CitySearch chimed into our conversation by tweeting to us ‘Hmm…we’re doing ok. Sorry to “spy” on your convo, but it is in the pub-line so figured I’d join in.’

Personally, I think that is way cool. Although there was no face to the corporate avatar, I could tell it was written in quick jest to our conversation and written by a human.

It will be fun to watch how awful some companies are at the public eavesdropping and how well some corporations use it.

Early days!
