I couldn't find some of the more well-known high street retailers; M&S, Next, and others have no presence, and their Twitter profiles seem to have been hijacked. I'm listing as many as I can find here, but if your company is on Twitter, or you are aware of any I have missed, let me know below...

Having looked at the use of Twitter by charities in the UK, and being impressed by number of organisations that have used it to promote their causes, I've decided to take a look at how many retailers are using the service. There are some great examples of companies using Twitter in the US; <a href="http://econsultancy.com/blog/3249-you-have-less-than-200-minutes-to-become-a-zappos-com-twitter-vip">Zappos has used it</a> to communicate with customers and for marketing purposes, while <a href="http://econsultancy.com/blog/3241-is-twitter-a-viable-loyalty-marketing-platform-dell-thinks-it-could-be">Dell says it has made $1m in sales</a> from using Twitter. So how many UK retailers have signed up for a Twitter account?
