Attempting to parlay his acquaintance with a nerd into something/anything, some nice person recently asked me, "Hey nerdy Bill, how does Twitter make money anyway?"
My response: "Um, I don't know. Ads, I guess."

Nice guess, Bill. Not!
The correct answer: Twitter doesn't make money and doesn't even pretend to want to try.
See?

QOTD
"Twitter has many appealing opportunities for generating revenue but we are holding off on implementation for now because we don't want to distract ourselves from the more important work at hand which is to create a compelling service and great user experience for millions of people around the world. While our business model is in a research phase, we spend more money than we make."
- Twitter doesn't make money, source
I love that... let's not "distract ourselves" by making money. Good one, boys.

This is funny... a 5K race run on/by Twitter, The Tweet 5K.
Here's the idea: It's a 5K race, but nobody actually gets together anywhere. You just run and tweet your experience and then, finally, your time in the run.
OK. [eye roll] [pause] [sigh]

My nerdy question: Shouldn't twitter rhyme with "pet rock"?
And hey, Twitter guys, cash out... and soon!
yow, bill

PS - google tweet hot chick... Matrix right???
