Current & Twitter have teamed up for the very first time to integrate real-time Twitter messages (aka "tweets") over major portions of a live television broadcast of the next presidential debate.
Current will broadcast as many of your debate tweets as possible right over the candidates, in real time, on their live broadcast.
How to PARTICIPATE:
1. Tune in on October 7th at 9pm EST/ 6pm PST for the Live Presidential Debate. Find Current TV on your local cable/satellite provider or come here to watch the live stream of our broadcast.
2. Make sure you’ve registered with Twitter to participate.
3. During the debates, chime in by including "#current" in your tweet. Example: "This discussion about universal healthcare makes me want to pop some pills! #current"
4. We won't be able to air every single tweet on TV, but you can see all of the #current tweets by searching #current on Twitter search.
5. If you have any questions about participating, send us a tweet @current.

This dominant company is ahead of it's market because of three reasons, competitive pricing/marketing, support, and because they keep up with the latest trends of the communication. Dell are always looking at new ways to advertise or keep in touch with their potential customers by trendy communication methods.
The latest trend they're using is Twitter, a short message service that alerts you on what people and companies are doing. Dell has listed all their twitter accounts at http://www.dell.com/twitter for everyone to peruse.
Currently, only tech-savvy people use twitter (slowly growing out of this trend), but you will find that the majority of people who are ordering bulk lots of computers (5+) are the tech-savvy people. So to be able to target those users is definitely an asset to the point of view of Dell.
I haven't really given a plug to Twitter before and I believe this service is a one of a kind.
What is twitter?
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send "updates" (or "tweets"; text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter website, via short message service (e.g. on a cell phone), instant messaging, or a third-party application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.
Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone is the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application.
How I benefit?
Only just yesterday I solved a query of mine by posting a message out to all my followers about whether they recognize a font a client needs that they have used before in their branding. About an hour later I had my query answered.
This has happened many times before where I've had the most complex question answered by someone who is well experienced in the area. But before you can get people to answer these questions you must have a connection with them (ie: they have to follow you).
Your messages 'can' appear on the public timeline but the chances of someone picking up on your message is very unlikely. So jump onto Twitter and follow people you're interested in, reply to their messages and before you know it you'll have some connections.
Message to twitter: "We'd like to thank you in 140 characters or less. And we just did!"
