Thought balloon: Twitter for business?

It's interesting to watch a different kind of social networking microcosm — different in its unique fit for mobile devices, and in the way it takes shoot-from-the-hip informality to a new level — emerge in Twitter.  It got me thinking about the benefits and potential hilarities that would accompany the implementation of an internal, business-facing Twitter-space.

What do you think would happen if an old-school business (say a law firm) decided to encourage its employees to Twitter at one another and management, perhaps even guaranteeing anonymity if desired?
