I too would like to see some smaller companies like Twitter Moms which has used Facebook to really help grow it's popularity and network community. Or Women in Business Networking, Inc which is non-profit business organization catering to women business owners has gained a good size following from Facebook too. Niall - happy to hear that you'll feature some small businesses next time.

They are defo spending shed loads of cash but it seems to be worth every penny as to have people going around (like my friends are) looking forward to "Arthur's day" and talking about a brand so positively is def a case of job well done on the marketing front and a good one to wheel out every year too as I am sure it will be nothing but a success this year.
