A couple of interesting business uses on Twitter today.

The biggest was Skittles.com, which changed its homepage to a live Twitter search for the trend #skittles. Whether you think it’s good marketing or not (some wonder what the message is in all of this), there have been countless Tweets about the trend. Probably because people are just tweeting about the candy to get their face on Skittles.com.

It’s like the new waving-at-the-camera-while-on-your-cell-phone-at-the-baseball-game-maneuver.

Locally, here in SLC, Solitude is offering lift tickets for half-off tomorrow if you show the ticket office this tweet.
