			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After drafting up a post for my personal blog entitled &#8220;<a title="Twitter and the changing ways we communicate" href="http://www.stuartryan.com/blog/random-thoughts/twitter-and-the-changing-ways-we-communicate/" target="_blank">Twitter and the changing ways we communicate</a>&#8221; I realised that it was time that I did a little bit of a shout out and praise some of the companies I have interacted with that really are getting things 100% right in the way they interact with the consumer via Twitter. I kind of realised that this is a plug for their services as well but I guess that can&#8217;t really be avoided, I use their services and am stoked with them all so you can take comfort in that.</p>
<p>So read below about the five companies and one individual that really are doing things right and one company that I am going to shame by doing things WRONG!</p>
<p><a title="RescueTime on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/@RescueTime" target="_blank">@RescueTime</a> &#8211; <a title="RescueTime" href="http://rescuetime.com/ref/316433" target="_blank">RescueTime</a> is a service that I have only been using for less than a month (for productivity tracking if you aren&#8217;t using it you should be but will do a post on that another time) however their Twitter customer service has been exemplary so far, quick to respond and always friendly I really can&#8217;t complain.</p>
<p><a title="CrashPlan on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/CrashPlan" target="_blank">@CrashPlan</a> &#8211; I use <a title="CrashPlan Plus" href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000035688763&amp;pubid=21000000000283466" target="_blank">CrashPlan Plus</a> for backups of all my data into the cloud and highly recommend them, the times that I have Tweeted them with feedback or requesting assistance they have always got back to me with help or thanks so good on them.</p>
<p><a title="LogMeIn on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/LogMeIn" target="_blank">@LogMeIn</a> &#8211; <a title="LogMeIn" href="http://www.logmein.com" target="_blank">LogMeIn</a> provides free and/or paid remote access to your computers from anywhere in the world (I just use the freebie). I have only ever Tweeted these guys once but they took my feedback on board and got back to me so I am happy to say that these guys also get a shiny gold star (especially for a free service).</p>
<p><a title="CloudFlare on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/CloudFlare" target="_blank">@CloudFlare</a> &#8211; For the last few months I have been using <a title="CloudFlare" href="http://www.cloudflare.com" target="_blank">CloudFlare</a> to speed up my blogs, they do a reverse proxy mix with a content delivery network (CDN), great service and VERY responsive on Twitter, I had an issue and they were on to it and helping out in record time.</p>
<p><a title="1Password on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/1Password" target="_blank">@1Password</a> &#8211; Honestly can&#8217;t remember why I had to tweet these guys but what I do remember is they were so exceptional I tweeted a massive thanks to them for their assistance and support. If you need password management software I highly recommend <a title="1Password" href="http://agilebits.com/products/1Password" target="_blank">1Password</a> too.</p>
<p><a title="Giles Hardie on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/GilesHardie" target="_blank">@GilesHardie</a> &#8211; Giles is actually a reporter/editor with the Sydney Morning Herald, after recently reading one of his <a title="Recap of Masterchef" href="http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/masterchef-recap-outcooking-a-noncook-20110720-1ho0w.html" target="_blank">articles about Masterchef</a> and almost literally pissing myself laughing I had to shout out and say thanks for the laugh. Little did I know that Giles read my tweet and replied back to me a couple of times. It was certainly refreshing for the little guy to get to talk directly to the author of an article.</p>
<p>Finally I have to give three thumbs down to <a title="Evernote on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/Evernote" target="_blank">@Evernote</a> on twitter &#8211; I love <a title="Evernote" href="http://www.evernote.com" target="_blank">Evernote&#8217;s</a> services please don&#8217;t get me wrong and I would be lost without them and in fact give their services a three thumbs UP. As a paying customer I expect however if you have a twitter account AND you promote it, if I message you saying I can&#8217;t renew my services and would like to let them know that they are giving me free premium services that I might in fact get a response. I have tweeted @Evernote on several occasions and never heard a boo back from them.</p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t already following me on twitter shout out to me right now on <a title="Stuart Ryan on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/StuartCRyan" target="_blank">@StuartCRyan</a> I always welcome feedback about what I write or even just a friendly hello.</p>
<p>Stuart</p>
