Seeing Forests

As Seb and Greg have pointed out, YellowPages CA is on Twitter.  I know others are tracking this and related memes, such as coupons on Twitter for food, computers and random pig crap.  I do want to follow-up on tracking coupons on Twitter later.  As for tracking directories, first, kudos for getting out there and diving in, of course.  Seems like you’re feeling your way around on this and that’s the kind of approach I’d advocate.  Still, it feels the mix of industry and computer tweets is confusing.  I like knowing AutoTrader has a new look or Taxi Canada got an award but that’s sure different from voting on the best brunch restaurant in Montreal or how to ask your social network for recommendations on Canadian businesses.  Assume at some point will start tracking different tweeters, one for industry and one for consumers (and one for the SME presumably).  Do like the consumer use focused on recommendations (and voting).  More machinery there is going to be interesting.  One thing that seems really useful would be simply a stream announcing new businesses - like restaurants specifically.  As the definitive source for such information (well, maybe the telcos themselves) this must be in the pipeline.  Looking forward to it.
