Two finnish  IT news sites use it just for posting their news automatically:

There clearly is a lot of room for more Finnish companies on Twitter. So sign up and follow me: twitter.com/startupbin. I’ll be happy to help you yo get started using Twitter.

If you other finnish companies using Twitter, please tell in the comments.
