Abstract
The current study extends the investigation of online relationship building by examining how Fortune 500 companies use the popular social network site Twitter to facilitate dialogic communication with stakeholders. A content analysis of a random sample of the Twitter profiles maintained by Fortune 500 companies ( n = 93) and individual tweets posted on those profiles ( n = 930) examined the use of dialogic features within the Twitter profiles as well as the individual tweets.
