I'm the webmaster at Resideo.com & the “voice” of Resideo on Twitter – @resideo

We take part on Twitter in several ways:

- by posting hotel news & info — renovations, special deals & discounts, etc.

- actively looking for folks who are asking for help in finding a hotel

- interacting with fellow travel-related Twitter-ers (via replying & RTing).

We also maintain a list of Hotels on Twitter (updated daily, as more and more hotels sign up for Twitter):
http://resideohotels.blogspot.com/2009/07/hotel...

And we do our best to be non-spammy as possible. Our numbers may not be huge, but we enjoy our community of followers and followees, and have had the chance to help thousands of people on Twitter find & book a room.
