Twitter Power for Small Business!

A large majority, roughly two-thirds, of respondents said that Twitter is either "somewhat" or "extremely important" to their company's current operations, compared to only 29 percent who say it is "not very important."

Twitter was ranked in the survey as second only to company blogs as a valuable social-media tool.
