Oh god. Not Twitter. I don’t understand the point of it. (Well, I can, but I can’t really see the overwhelming appeal of it. I hate things that get too popular.)

I’ve twittered (I prefer that to tweet) three times on a shared account and I’m so over it. (Excuse the Americanism).

(And the amount of brackets!)

I don’t know if it’s because I’m too old, no longer hip and with it or just a plain old billy no mates but I just don’t get the point of twitter. I’m not really interested in A’s comments on B’s website/blog unless I am A or B and if it’s really interesting they’d surely blog about it themselves.

Thankfully, â€œtwitterâ€? brings to mind birds chirping at dawn, or perhaps a chorus of ladies-wot-lunch.

And they also keep you awake at 4am with their nonsense…

A business model is a plan of how to make money.

An idea is not a business model it’s an idea. Ideas that make money are still just ideas. They only look like a business model retrospectively.

SMS (the original SMS on cell phone networks not the use of by twitter) for example was never a business model still it started making money. Now it is.

Who said it had to be a document?

Make twitter shareable IS a business model, it presumes that people will WANT to communicate to/from twitter. I’m not suggesting the plan is more than that, I’m just saying I think was always more than just a “way for people to say what they are doing right now”.

Sure, the “it’d be cool if..” stuff probably drove that, but regardless of what you call it, any common ideas around that area are still a business model.

Remember, a document is only a delivery mechanism for information!
