[...] Business as Unusual “Follow us on Twitter” may not sound like a convincing marketing plan, Â but don’t knock it til you’ve tried it. The most successful practitioners understand that, Â in the end, people will only follow you if you understand what captures their interest. And Â as a supplier of goods or services, social media can actually provide pretty good insight Â into what holds people’s attention and what turns them off. In fact, in the new interactive Â web environment, even a used car salesman can build a following, if he knows what he’s Â doing. [...]

Haha thanks for sharing this one. Memorable names really do a lot. It's similar with online video too. If you can make people stop and think about something that they'll remember within the first five seconds, there's a good chance you'll be able to go somewhere with your video. Combine this with a site like AdWido that helps you put videos up on multiple video sites easily, and that's already great promotional material for your small business.

Having memorable name actually works greatly, it just like a domain name its does help. I read an article recently about optimizing the social sites profile, one of the things are gained was optimize the title tag which was refering to the user name!

I think the fact that his tweets are personable, and the name of his business being memorable are the key ingredients to why his business is successful.
