I hate that Twitter is in such a mess. On CNBC yesterday everyone was saying Google should buy them. If that ever happened it would truly be a sad day. The only hope would be that the government would never approve such a deal.
It's an odd situation, but nearly any metrics you'd consider twitter a success but, because wall street expects twitter to be the next facebook, it's not getting good press.
Nonsense. What Wall Street expects is something Twitter has never generated: Profit.
Despite its popularity, Twitter has always been a money losing venture. No company can bleed cash forever and survive.
I always suspected it actually had a beneficial effect in that it made people have to actually learn to be concise. Now Twitter is going to be filled with rambling and it may well have a detrimental effect IMHO.
Agreed! The concept was supposed to be similar to a SMS (text message) on a phone, not as a free-for-all blog service. I hope everyone puts a TL;DR synopsis in their tweets, because I don't have time for 10K char tweets.:no:

Oh, that makes more sense now. Thanks I missed that.

Soooo...email basically?
E-mail has a character limit? I thought it was just limited to the size of message that could be sent by a given server.
