"Mashable readers: Subscribe to Mashable's Twitter Version!\nTwitter can now be considered for more than personal updates and cat blogging.  On Wednesday, Woot, the online daily deal store, became featured on the Twitter homepage, providing their tidbits of info through the newly popular mobile site.  Woot, it seems, has been providing these updates for a few weeks previously.  \nTwitter users can add Woot as a friend and easily follow the daily deals that Woot provides for buyers on their homepage.  In this sense, Twitter is being used for marketing purposes - just as MySpace pages became marketing vehicles, so will Twitter accounts (see MySpace Marketing).\nThe way in which information is fed through Twitter is perfect for the distribution manner of Woot.  Short and sweet.  The deals on Woot are available for a limited time, and getting the word out fast and far is imperative to Woot's strategy.  What we want to know: how long before a major brand moves in?  And how long before Twitter starts charging for these commercial profiles, as MySpace does?\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
