The Google Play Store Comes to Twitter

The Google Play Store, formerly known as the Android Marketplace,  has finally launched it's own Twitter account.  It may sound like a pretty minor event, but it could actually be a fairly big deal for all of the Android device owners out there.  Many businesses today have not only taken to Twitter to answer customer questions and handle complaints, but
