Got an idea that causes people to use their phones? Get development money from Verizon. Those days might be gone, but mobile/SMS is still a money maker, and Twitter would boost SMS usage big time if SMS were more afforably packaged, no?

I do disagree with you. I think that Twitter has some great value.

I’m just not sure what else could be on their roadmap that would warrant it having its own company. I guess we shall see.

Twitter is useless. It enables bloggers to feel important about themselves. There is a term known as circle j___. That applies to this situation as well.

This is another product that no one outside of the blogging/Bay Area world cares about. My guess is someone big will buy them (e.g. eBay, Yahoo, Google) and waste more stockholder money. The move to make it a distinct entity is just preparing Twitter for that.

I wonder what Roald Dahl would say about our little twits?
