Trackthis: Follow your packages through Twitter.

Who would have thought that Twitter could become a Web 2.0 business-oriented service. With TrackThis, a service which allows you to follow a shipment via FedEx, UPS, DHL and USPS with only a shipping number or code, this dream has come true.

How does it work? You tell it a package tracking number from FedEx, UPS, USPS, or DHL, and it will Twitter you back whenever there's an update from the shipper.

The advantages to use Trackthis:

First, you can attach a descriptor to your query (like "lamp shade"). Second, you can use Twitter to easily change your message delivery options: you can quickly turn on or off SMS updates for Trackthis alerts, for example.

Clever and useful...
