t is truly a David vs. Goliath world our there for us entrepreneurs and small businesses. One of the hardest levels for small businesses to compete on with the large enterprises is advertising.

By now we’ve all heard of Twitter. With an estimated 12 million active users, it is by far the fastest growing Social Media site in the world. Despite it’s popularity, there are plenty of Twitter skeptics and people who just don’t “get it”. Some say that it is a waste of time or only a place for people to post useless thoughts like “this morning I ate Cheerios for breakfast…YUM!”. Although some Tweets may seem irrelevant to one person, it may be very interesting and useful to others.

With that in mind, we decided to try and find those people and companies and ask them about their Tweeting.

Here at WebFuel, we want to know: “Why do you Tweet?”
