I find twitter reallly fun to use (I am crystalvelvetuk on there) I've got lots of followers and have found myself listed under weddig professionals on several lists. So although I not technically looking for wedding stuff for me, I can see it being of great value.

If anyone else is on there, leave your user name and I'll follow you.

I have an account I use for business on there. I do try to add something most days, but I do it from Ping FM, so it updates my Linked in, Blog and Twitter accounts. This is me, but I only have 15 followers so far!

I've not used twitter to find any products yet though.

Maybe a silly question (new to twitter), but how would you use it to find suppliers?

I am also not sure quite how you would be able to search out wedding suppliers other than to type tiara etc into the find people, but as far as I can see, that would only find people who have the name tiara. So I wait to be enlightened.
For businesses though, it is a great means of communication and increasing flow etc.
I am currently doing a giveaway to celebrate 200 days of my one a day challenge.
Normally when I do a giveaway on my blog, I attract about 15 relies max.
This current giveaway has so far attracted 30 responses and I havn't even started to look at the retweets etc. I'm definatley a fan and I'm now following you lot!!

You could use the search function on keywords, or by finding one supplier and looking who they follow, or using a site like http://www.twellow.com/ - Yellow Pages of Twitter accounts.

Micro blogging / social networking. You have 140 characters to update your status, share news etc.

It's very addictive
