many brands still oblivious.
Pingdom did a poll of the Top 100 Fortune 500 IT companies, to see who had registered their names on Twitter. Surprisingly, 67% of them were not registered, or used a more difficult searched name than their brand.
Sadly, I believe this. Our agency pitched a major beer brand about a year ago, and realized they hadn't secured their Twitter name. I did this for them, and then handed over the passwords to the account in the pitch meeting. They have yet to take it over, even though the account gets new followers every day. C'mon, brands!

- I agree with Kevin. Twitter is not for every brand, and it baffles me to read articles that simply shout "get on board" without any real value proposition.
