Twitter could in one day, and with little resources simply post some tutorials, and explanatory pages to educate newbies. This would be the biggest ROI they could ever invest in. Hell, I don't even work for them, and I have already blogged over a dozen ways that Tweeple, and businesses use Twitter differently.
