Brilliant Use of Twitter - BestBuy Twelpforce

My marketing friend Matt Newell was telling me about BestBuy and their 'Twelpforce' and it's a brilliant use of Twitter!

BestBuy employees will answer any tech related questions sent to the @twelpforce Twitter account. And even better for BestBuy, their employees are happy to answer these questions in their own time! I guess this taps into the human desire to be seen as knowledgeable and an expert, because BestBuy employees are going home, logging into Twitter and answering customer questions.

BestBuy have made some pretty good ads promoting the service too:
