Paul, aka the Twitchhiker, has set off today from Newcastle in the North East of England hitchhiking around the world in aid of charity:water. The kicker is, he can only accept offers of travel or accomodations that he is offered from other twitter users who are following him.
www.twitchhiker.com gives a lot more information :)
Any chance you could point him to this blog post, and have him make a
comment on their interest and contact info? =)

They both work on the set of Heroes and drawn many, many new users to twitter. They give priceless insights into the day to day running of the TV industry and often hold Q & A sessions for their followers.

Design company using twitter to broadcast news and links about touchscreens, gestural interfaces, and the design of new technologies.
They are alumnis and students of Team Academy, the management school without teachers, students and classes. Instead they have coaches, team entrepreneurs and real projects with real clients earning real money (and of course experience they otherwise wouldn't;-)).

I discovered Gigantic.com through Twitter, and it's great! I bought tickets for Beyonce at a reasonable price and 10% of the profits go to Oxfam. Brilliant! There are none of the problems I've experienced with Ticketmaster. I'll definitely be using this site again. Big thanks to Twitter for introducing me to Gigantic.com.

wesabe helps you track your finances and you can get your questions answered by other 'wesabians' in the community! they use twitter to not only keep their members updated on what's new but also with personal finance news. http://www.wesabe.com
100% non-spammy as they don't have a product--or even a blog--to sell. All they seem to do 24x7 is tweet tips/news and answer questions from their followers.
You would be doing a great service to Twitter users by letting more people know about them! (And they are humble: I know they won the Shorty award for #tech but nowhere on their page do they mention it.)
And really, you can see what I mean just by looking at their tweets. (They answer most questions by DM so as not to clog up their stream for people.) They even fixed an image on my blog for me the other day! They are my go-to for all things Twitter.
I worked in tech support for many years and decided to just start helping people from a seperate account some months ago, which has now grown to over 15K followers.
We try to tweet the most about the things people are asking us about or having problems with. We actually don't have time to do a blog because helping people via @Twitter_Tips takes so much of our time! I've tried to recruit some people to help but so far it's just my wife @SarahJL and me.
(Love your service! Hope Twitter buys you and drops that silly "Recommended Users" thing they are trying for new accounts.)
it!"
You think so? Do you mind pointing them to this blog post, and getting them
to share their insights and what they have been working on? =)

Twitter: HumanWakeUpCall
As a 9/11 survivor that was 20 minutes late for work and walked out of the subway just in time to see the plane hit his building, desk, and kill all of his co-workers, Mike Jaffe changed his life in that second to honor his co-workers by helping others rewrite their tomorrow and make the most of every day.
him to this post, and see if he would be interested in sharing his thoughts,
particularly on Twitter?

Twitter is just an amazing tool for helping to share little bites of motivation and inspiration (mini wakeup calls) to keep people moving and empowered amidst their day to day realities. It's too easy to get sucked into the daily stresses and wait to find time for things that really matter. But once you realize you need 'create' time for them (you'll never find it) you can start to take the small steps that will begin to change your life.
I would love to recommend Dale Beaumont, http://www.secrets-exposed.com.au/ - last count Dale had written 15 best selling 'Secrets Exposed' books that help small business owners achieve success by studying the experts. Books are packed with fantastic ideas and inspiration from corporate and small business leaders around the world.
Plus, I would also like to recommend his partner Brent Williams who has an awesome program for young people known as 'Empower U' - http://www.tomorrowsyouth.com.au. It teaches them how to reach their dreams and goals. By conducting workshops they help the kids to open up and become aware of their desires and remove their limitations, to help them realise there is a great future out there for them, no matter what their past has been.

We are currently using Twitter to help advanced, non-native English learners practise English expressions. We have a website that features a daily quiz on colloquial expressions and we use these and other phrases in our Tweets on English_Phrases at Twitter. We invite students to follow us to read our tweets. We encourage them to set up their own Twitter account and use new phrases in their own tweets. We then follow the student and RT @ any of their tweets that show good examples of the phrase in use. Only been going a week but we have nearly 300 followers and are following nearly 300 students and English teachers.
Having just discovered Twitter I must say it's great fun ... almost addictive! You can see our and our students' use of English phrases here:

As a part of our programming, we run a 21-Day Filmmaking Competition where filmmakers & animators from all over the world band together to create a film based on a common secret element. Completed films will screen theatrically as a part of the Project Twenty1 Film Festival in Philadelphia, and the top films will receive DVD distribution. As a bonus, we also submit all films to partner film festivals all over the world after the festival is over, thus saving Teams a whole lotta money and potentially getting them a lot of awards and prizes.
In addition, we hold large networking events to try to help our filmmakers' build their Teams, resources, and networks so they can make the best product possible! Although many of our Teams are from the Philadelphia area, last year we had Teams from Michigan, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. We would like to ensure that we reach out globally through Mr. Tweet & Twitter in case they cannot make it to any of our "real life" events.
We plan to run our next Team-building campaign by promoting hashtagging #P21 to help filmmakers find other volunteers, build their teams, and have a safety net in case they run into trouble. Actress get sick and need a replacement? Hashtag it! On set and your electricity blows out? Hash tag it and hopefully someone can find you an electrician!
Our goal is to help filmmakers ask for help...because sometimes, that is a REALLY hard thing to do.
You can watch the documentary about us on www.ProjectTwenty1.com, follow us on www.twitter.com/projecttwenty1, or just drop me a line at stephanie [at] projecttwenty1.com
In addition to the 21-Day Filmmaking Competition, we are sponsoring an @earthhour event to promote Green filmmaking & help filmmakers network during Earth Hour 2009; actor seminars; "Show Your Shorts", which is like an open-mic night for films, and tons of other events! In the end, we can also use your help to just find more volunteers, since we are growing every day!
We <3 U, Erica & Mr. Tweet!
After only such a short time, I have only a few followers, but it's still a great experience!
Thanks for your help in making this so good.

I have been working to make an impact on the quality of life of IT workers for nearly 10 years. Twitter has extended the reach of this work and helped me find amazing partnerships!
Currently I have found twitter an amazing place to connect with folks and hear stories 140 chars at a time about their current reality. Some of which I have been given as grist for my blog novella about day to day life in IT.
I have received direct messages and public tweets telling me that I am helping them convince their bosses that they need to change the way they work. At least several times a week after my blog posts I get messages asking me if I have a camera on their wall or even if I am down the hall from them with encouragement to continue writing.
I have met new clients, but more importantly connected with a whole new universe of friends that is growing everyday.
I feels amazing to appreciate and to be appreciated!

Romeo is a great choice because he is tweeting as a cat in order to raise funds for the Humane Society. In less than a month, he has acquired almost 2,000 followers (for each follower, he contributes 5 cents to HS). Romeo has been featured on the Humane Society website, nytimes.com and his local TV affiliate. He has also garnered the support and donations from pet companies such as FURminator.
Romeo is not tweeting as part of a job. He is just doing it for a good cause and the Twitter pet community has whole-heartedly embraced him. His tweets are a mix of good will messaging and kitty cat hijinks. Please check him out.
Plus it's a Catch-22: If nobody knows about it.. well, you can infer the rest :)
It's a humble storytelling app that you can put your children, their friends, etc. in. It uses new words on each reading so that's got to be good for literacy levels. It's 'for kids' but to be honest I've had adult friends read the stories and be entertained- I like to write like that. Think Neil Gaiman meets Douglas Adams.

WebbChange sends 4 tweets a day to its followers (2 in the morning and 2 in the evening) that will share top and random sites ranked by the public. The intent is to bring awareness to sites that users define, share and rank. WebbChange is the platform for capturing and sharing the public's opinion of whats valuable on the web and creating a system that allows people to find information more relevant to them by combining keyword search with profile filtering. Very powerful.
So if you wanted to find the top website tagged with dogs and pet sitting by females between the age of 30 and 40, living in California, that have an interest of Pets - WebbChange can store, share and retrieve this for you with our innovative SmartSearch feature. The robust functionality is available at our site - but we are using twitter to share with our followers sites valued, ranked and contributed by the community that the people otherwise wouldn't find.

@helpfindmychild is a small online volunteer group working with families of missing children, we started using twitter fairly recently to help raise the profile of missing or exploited children worldwide.
What we have found is the totally unexpected impact twitter would have the traffic to our sites emails and information that’s flowed as stories develop. Plus if we need assistance on cases the twitter community responds instantly in finding us the right kind person to link up with, its like having an extended family of helpers and friends - for example just yesterday the father of a missing child left us a message in Portuguese, we tweeted for translation help with in 10 mins a translator responded to assist How awesome is that!
Twitter has really integrated with us so well sure is down to the friendly community within who’ve been only too willing to lend a few minutes here and there for a neighbor in need.
@helpfindmychild we really do believe that 1 tweet could help bring a missing child home
Thanks for your time!

The reasons are numerous but they're all doing things to help people in not the tangible ways but the intangible as well. Working with them to get their spirit into what they're doing what they're working on and helping them stay on track to change the world in positive ways. All 3 are wonderful people and should all be featured.

14 career experts are donating their time by tweeting advice to job seekers daily. The innovative program provides job seekers collective perspective and real-time help. It got 700+ followers in the first 72 hours of its launch!
Better still, it just got highlighted for being a 'social media rule breaker' success story on Mashable.com which gained it another 1000 followers in 24 hours! Here's the link to the story...

I do the band website and am a close personal friend of Gary Mullen. Let me know if you have interest in talking to Gary.
Not only they host all my sites they are there 24/7 and there is always a nice attentive person on the other end. Once I switched to Media Temple I could not understand how I did without the level of service they provide.
I'd like to see a feature on them

JobShouts.com is the first free job board to integrate social media as part of its delivery platform.
Let's look at facts:
1. Unemployment is high and people are utilizing their networks to obtain work. Including Twitter.
2. There are employers out there that are still hiring and either aren't skilled in the use of social networks or don't have time to run active social network profiles. In addition, most employers are cutting back on the high cost of job postings on the major job boards.
3. Twitter remains a virtually wide open platform for recruiting/networking for jobs.
In the 45 days since it's launch, JobShouts.com has garnered more than 1300 followers and more than 700 job postings from all over the globe, including jobs from Microsoft, IBM, Google, JP Morgan and more.
Each time a job is posted, it's tweeted. Even better, job seekers can create private profiles to allow them to receive a DM each time a job is posted that matches their criteria.
JobShouts.com is global.
While we are still working on improvements and upgrades, we are fervent in our mission to give the "big job boards" a run for their money and give job seekers what they want: legitimate jobs without information compromise.
Since this is such a new venture, we're not sure yet of the results (i.e. actual hires) but the hiring process is often in excess of 30 days in most situations. Not to mention we get daily feedback from our followers that they are grateful to have the service.
Is it worth featuring by Mr. Tweet? We sure think so and I think a lot of our followers would agree. We'd love to tell you more! :)

They feature 1 fascinating per day (during the week at least). They do a fun "Cool Twitter name of the day" and list all the wacky holidays daily that I enjoy seeing.
And they have cool contests based on storytelling/writing!
