If you "Twitter" make sure you are following @phish. They are giving live set lists as their shows go on. Pretty cool. They don't seem to tweet much but they have updated every song tonight. Thought yall may like to know!
enjoy twitter while it lasts for all who actually found a way to enjoy it. The creators of twitter forgot one small thing, how to make money off of it. not joking. Wall Street Journal laughed at them last week after their creators couldn't answer a single question about how to make money off of it.
most websites make barely any money, right now its pretty damn hard to make decent money off the internet aside from small advertising revenue because most users expect everything for free.

Of course, they did answer lots of questions about their business model.
They said they could sell banner ads, but they didn't want to because it was the "least interesting thing they could do."
One of the co-founders also said, "We are trying to take a really long-term perspective about how we build a valuable and large company. That takes time and we only have so many resources and there's so much we have to do...it's just a timing thing."
It's not like they're hurting for cash. The guy from the quote above also invented Blogger and sold it to Google.
Apparently he's taking the same approach with Twitter he took with Blogger: make something people want to use first, then figure out how to make a buck off of it.

True, the best course of action I see for them is to sell it, although it is a social network It doesn't have the same type of social structure that keeps something like facebook running. but twitter would be a great add on to an already well established social network, and someone out there would be willing to pay a good chunk of change for it. the founders are well aware that 2 years from now twitter will be dust, so I'm sure that selling it is a strong possibility.
