The popularity of tter is really amazing, isn't it? Of course, I've read that it's not for everyone and agree. But for entities that desire to "get the word out" to members of entity X (or those who have interest in entity X), it's a channel of communication that doesn't require much effort and some of that can be automated.
To maximize Twitter usage, one could look for add-ons to existing web based apps/systems. For example, there is an extension for Joomla that sends a tweet to a specific account when a posting/article submission is made to a Joomla CMS.
Called Tweets Module (example at http://moodle.tcea.org/) may acquired from:
http://extensions.vaneldijk.nl
or installed to your Joomla using URL install via:
http://moodle.tcea.org/jinstalls/tweetsmodule-v2.2.zip
Twitter Status (example at http://sos.tcea.org/) maybe acquired from:
http://tomasz-dobrzynski.com
or installed to your Joomla using URL install via:
http://moodle.tcea.org/jinstalls/mod_twitterfeed_1.0.0a.zip
Entity X could also offer another means ... there is a search site for twitter content that will pull up all tweets from a twitter account and it also provides an RSS feed of the search. Place the RSS Feed link on your web site.
Atom RSS Feed SOSSIG

Yours, in "getting the word out",
Ken
