Quote from lolatBushites:
I think Twitter has more value than Facebook Myspace type sites. With data mining, it is great for anyone with a fan base; i.e. corporations, movie stars, athletes, stock gurus, to get real time feedback from their fan base. Like myspace, it's also great for stalkers and those without social skills
What about the advertising part? How will Twitter make money?
If twitter went IPO it would be a huge buy
Interesting. Quite a wide variety of "success" levels on that list. Can i be added?

I don't understand twittering and don't have an account, actually. Feels like a fad. Makes sense for celebs that need to connect with their fans, I guess.

I use twitter as a note pad. If I see or hear an interesting or well constructed quote I jot it down. It's something I intended for no one else to see but interestingly enough I have followers. I would block them but it seems rude to do so.
Using Twitter for anything else is a mystery to me. Its basic function is a bulk text message, no? Or perhaps a bulletin board similar to the one we're on now, except any phone with text capability can leave a message on twitter, not just phones with internet access like Blackberry and iPhone, right? It seems to me that anyone interested in something like Twitter would have a phone with internet access or at least will have one soon. I wonder how that will play out for Twitter. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thats interesting, I was thinking it would be a good short. I guess that makes a market.
As far as I can tell that unless they figure out a way to stick adds into that highly limited number of characters I think its going the way of the CB (without all the trucker movies)
maybe at some point they could charge the people that send the twitts. like $9.99 for all the twitts you can eat per month. I could see something like that working maybe
