Twitter users of the week

This week's user of the week is: @xboxsupport who are the Guinness World Record Holder for Most Responsive Brand on Twitter and it shows. Many times I've seen people I follow mention their Xbox situations, and @xboxsupport always replies really quickly. Well done to them for leading the way when it comes to Twitter communications from a brand.

I see they use a tool called TweetRiver to coordinate their efforts, but apps such as TweetDeck with their instant updates and custom searches could also be useful if you wanted to track what people are saying about your brand. What Twitter tools do you use and what for? Please let me know in the comments.
