Twitter has become a global social media platform which attracts people and companies of all different stripes. Not surprisingly, many businesses which clean, repair, and install gutters have embraced the Twitter revolution. But what might shock you is that some of these Tweeters are actually pretty cool! Here are seven of them which you may want to start following in the near future.
