Glad you like the updates. :) More coming soon. Yeah, I agree re: corporate accounts. In my opinion, adding real value is where Twitter's core value lies. If a corporate is tweeting about their specials and about how awesome they are, are they really using Twitter for it's perceived intended purpose (user to user interaction)? Thanks Brendon. Glad you like the updates. :) More coming soon.

Like take @guykawasaki - hes largely an Alltop bot, but under the guise of a personal account, and sprinkling in other links and personal tweets, as well as interacting, he has a huge effective following. I only think hard line corporate accounts can work if they offer something of real value to the follower. I'm no marketer or social media expert, but I have some ideas on how they could be effective. I cant list them here though, otherwise my comment is going to be longer than your post :) I like the little changes you've made to this site - looking neat dude.
