Thanks for getting this list together, I look forward to using these as examples in my classes where I frequently get push-back regarding who actually uses Twitter. There are some big names in here that I anticipate will get resistant people to sit up and take notice.
Great list- and of course there are many more than just these 53. Microsoft has a very strong Twitter presence as well. @Office_Live and @MSWindows are just a few.

Thanks for this useful list – any thoughts on UK based companies using Twitter and/or stats on financial benefits of doing so? Would be interesting to know and having a problem tracking down, thanks for any help with this.

I don’t really have knowledge of the UK’s Twitter activities, but I’m sure if you’re on Twitter someone could help.
