Cannot figure out when and how .........
Just dont know what makes this work. Its just getting popularity as a social media gig which are now increasingly being used by SEO guys to help promote various websites. And the technology is clumsy too. <br /> <br />Can figure out when and how such sites will make money. Particularly with ad revenues drying up and probably staying dry for the next 2 yrs. Would like to know if Twitter is getting revenue share from mobile cos!!

Is Twitter Run By Twits?
Twitter's coverage by the news media has been getting a lot of attention these days. Since its creation in 2006, Twitter's popularity has grown exponentially. It's now estimated there are 4 to 5 million users worldwide.<br /> <br /> So how does this media darling make money? Well, currently it doesn't.<br /> <br /> Don't let the attention-grabbing headlines fool you. Twitter still has not announced a business model... More >>

Already the" Next Big Thing"
Twitter is an addiction. Its userbase has been growing exponentially, and it's one of those websites where people tend to stay on the site for hours a day. It's less a "social-networking" website than it is a "microblogging" service, which is both its novelty and its allure. Twitter has developed a cult-like devoted following and is already the dominant player in the microblogging market. If you factor in Silicon Valley's ... More >>

What Twitter could have thought of and it dint?
For a while I have been talking about Twitter on ChubbyBrain, and suddenly realized that it would be a shame not to post an independent review of Twitter, especially because it offers such an excellent insight into the current state of the market for social web companies in the micro-blogging space. The one question that Twitter thought it would ask itself when it becomes \"cool enough\" was \"How do we make money ?\". Now, th... More >>

Cool Tech + No Business Model = Problem
As Andrew pointed out, Twitter has a lot of people who use it - almost 700k per the numbers he provided. And to make things better, people are addicted to it. Twitter has entered the public consciousness. So what is not to like?<br /> <br /> I won\'t comment on Twitter as a service in detail except to say that while there are probably a lot more adopters to come, but like blogging, people will jump on the bandwagon initially and ...
