I am a new user of Twitter and I love it. I use it for my own green company as well "A Lot To Say" (http://shop.alottosay.com/). We make clothing with green messages and use materials that are environmentally friendly :) I am excited about meeting new people on Twitter and continuing to keep the green movement moving.

I am a big Twitter fan, and uses religiously every day to inform my followers of all my new blog posts, and various tidbits about my work and personal lives. You can also do a search by topic, using Twitter Search - used to be Summize, and was recently bought out by Twitter -

Have fun tweeting, searching, following, and being followed!
