"Weird Best Buy Twitter Ad Twelpforce" Commercial (Lost Media) 2009

Twelpforce. It's another one of those names that just rolls off your tongue. Why go to Best Buy when you can tweet somebody who might work there who might get back to you. Isn't that easier than Amazon? ISN'T IT?

I'm honestly surprised they survived the 2008 crash with commercials like these.

Recorded 2009.

"This is an interesting one: consumer electronics retailer Best Buy is encouraging hundreds of employees to handle online customer service and company promotions via Twitter, even airing commercials not mentioning their own website but merely the URL of the profile they created on the micro-sharing service (two spots embedded below). The new service, dubbed Twelpforce, was debuted over the weekend but so far hasn’t garnered a lot of online buzz, let alone followers on Twitter (currently at around 1350). I’m sure that will change soon enough.
