POLL: What local businesses do you wish were on Twitter?

Every now and then we at MomFaves and MomWordOfMouth see a request from a raving fan - wishing his or her favorite local business would use Twitter to announce or share something they are dying to know.

Like this tweet today from @troy_k of Roseville, CA…

What about you?

What favorite local business do you wish was on Twitter? AND… What do you wish they would tweet?

In an effort to help local businesses understand the power of Twitter, we are taking a comment poll on this post.

Leave a comment and/or send @MomWordOfMouth a tweet that completes this phrase:

I wish my favorite (local business) would use Twitter to announce (something you care to know)…

Thanks!
