This post is doing something a bit different and probably more useful, but it reminds me of the people that search Twitter for mentions of their competitors and then try to convince those people to use their product instead. I see this every once in awhile when I search for our product mentions and it makes me sad. I'm sad because it's a huge waste of time for them and they are actually damaging their brand (not ours). Even though Twitter is public, there's still a sense that some random person isn't just going to start replying to your tweets.
