On black Friday that just recently passed supposedly major stores such as, Best Buy, Mall of Americas, Toys 'R Us, etc. . were posting sales, and black Friday deals on Twitter. Mall of America was tweeting about what parking lots were full, and where open parking spots were. Disney stores linked facebook to its twitter account in hope of people "becoming a fan" and seeing all the different sales they have going on. Best buy has a "twelpforce", this is a twitter help force, you ask a question, and shortly after someone will tweet back a response to help resolve your issue.
I think its so weird to watch this evolution of social networking, and major retailing stores. they are collaborating to reach millions of people in real time. This gives them the power to let us know about new trending items that have just recently made it to their shelves. Or any sales or specials that are going on. Basically any reason to get us in their store, to help increase their profits.
As mush as i think its good because yeah of course i want to know when express has a sale, i think it could also be pretty annoying. 
Because i don't really want to see their crap on my twitter feed every day. I don't mind seeing it black Friday or maybe during the Christmas season, but i don't want to see it all the time. If i am curious i could navigate me way over to their twitter page without having to be bombarded each time i log on to my twitter account.
