   Interestingly, being a Twitter user, I just happened to search for Phoenix a while back and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a Twitter account. I was one of the first few hundred to follow and long before I had heard about them using Twitter. If Twitter doesn’t implode, it may well become a “place to be” for companies and people who want to be found.

   I agree with you with the comment “if it does not implode”. Looks like it’s doing that slowly.
