I agree with one point among three.. It is Adsense-like profile/presence advertising across the web. Useful one it is..

As the world inexorably moves to computing and storage as a utility, and as energy prices and climate change (price of GHG emissions) loom ever larger in the economics of cloud computing and data-centers, and as information transmission (bandwidth) costs thrift savings plan continue to plummet, the relative importance of (carbon-neutral) energy operating costs will continue to increase strongly. (The other main factors being: construction costs, access to bandwidth, legal jurisdiction, security, availability of skilled workforce.) Sooo…. why Iceland?

Yea, it has been good to watch the growth of a new social product. Many companies were smart and began to create apps as soon as they saw the potential twitter had.

Nice post :)

The following quote strikes me as being extremely relevant to this comment:

The beauty of the Internet is that it connects people. The value is in the other people. If we start to believe that the Internet itself is an entity that has something to say, we're devaluing those people and making ourselves into idiots.

But the truth is that most people are idiots, and the Internet itself is more interesting than they are.

I would agree that, while the fate of Twitter, the company, is hard to predict, Twitter, the basic idea, occupies an important part in the eternal chain of evolving communication.

We all want to communicate more effectively, more directly, more efficiently. Any tools that genuinely help us do that are going to catch on. Eventually, there will probably be a way for us to communicate with the rest of the world telepathically, and that will become popular too, not because it "should," but simply because we are moving inevitably toward it.

It's not so much that we care what each other are doing all the time. It's that each of us is ultimately frustrated that we can't completely understand other people, or be completely understood by them. We are constantly looking for ways to change this. Letting others know what you had for lunch today, in a non-intrusive and efficient way, is a relief in that regard, as the lunch itself is just a symbol of what the future may bring.

Honestly, there are lots of people using containers as their homes, even old container trucks, these are people who don't have money to purchase anything, and the article reminded me of it.. hope that our government will do something with those poor people.

My hometown Austin is proud to say that all of its residents are fun loving people, filled with nightlife, bars, booze and babes.. and that's not all, if you stay at Austin you will soon find out that your in "heaven", got my point?

I agree with Sebastian. I lived in Austin, and also currently reside in San Francisco. There are coffee shops and cafes all over Austin. Ruta Maya is an awesome coffee shop, and there are dozens of Starbucks, which are just as popular in San Francisco. Apparently, you spent the entire week at SXSW and only SXSW and the immediate area surrounding it. Yes, alcohol is very prevalent, especially near 6th Street, but marijuana is everywhere. Marijuana hasn't been decriminalized in Texas like it has been in San Francisco. so people smoke in a more private setting. Oh, and San Francisco is much whiter than Austin. San Francisco has a population of 764,976(2007 estimate). Austin has a population of 1.6million(2007 estimate). That's more than double the population of San Francisco spread over a larger area, which means that Austin is not condensed into a 7x7 square. Austin has a fairly large Indian and South East Asian population, along with a larger black population. You should try spending more time in Austin next time. You come off sounding like a lame hipster who rides a bike and lives on Valencia.

AJANS — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:59:16 -0000

But is it for sale? No. Or could be.

I think twitter would be fools to sell right now approaching the apex of enlightenment. It would be a terrible play for them.

I see twitter standing alone as its own internet titan, why sell to Google, but oh i’m sure Google has been on the front lawn along with Jerry Yang in a toga begging for piece of Twitter. All the while twitter just keeps refining their experience, staying true, and watching people.

I can yield a better pulse on what the planet thinks about a brand thru twitter than I can with search or blog or brand monitoring tools. Most of these tools leverage twitter as well to farm up the pulse. This is hugely valuable, and potentially one of many stakes in the ground as to what people will gravitate to next, and Twitter knows this.

Remember Batman Forever? Twitter is our generations Edward Nygma. (and i think that two face guy could be either facebook and myspace or maybe google i dunno)

Its our brain on the box. Sell to Google, Yahoo.. are you mad?

Re: Facebook Will Be Open

chasnote — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:14:58 -0000

I agree with you that Beacon has the potential to be a killer advertising app, a marketing quantum leap as important as paid search. The obstacle that's holding Facebook back, though -- to Rafer's comment above -- is Facebook's idiotic, careless approach to PR. Google stole Overture's model, distributed the AdSense platform to millions of web publishers with opaque, perhaps rapacious terms, and convinced everyone that Google's all about doing no evil. Facebook needs to step up their game in the C-suite.
