Co-founder of Twitter Biz Stone states, “Twitter provides a new way of messaging; it’s the messenging service we didn’t know we needed until we had it.”
John Colbert replies, “That sounds like the answer to a problem we didn’t know we had until I invented the answer.”
Biz responds, “If the telegraph was good enough to send then it was worth sending on a horse.” John questions, “What’s the Twitter business model?”
Biz confidently states, “We recognize the difference between profit and adding value. We are building value…Right now value means extending the service worldwide where more people can have access to the network…There are over 4 Billion Phones…As we grow the network to interface with texting and the internet it becomes more valuable….
Stone is going to experiment with the google revenue method to its Twitter application in 2009. And perhaps most important explore and test the results until he finds the right revenue model for Twitter.
So what does this have to do with your business? THE BIG TAKEAWAY

2. And if the answer is offered in the marketplace how will you differentiate it and make it the only logical choice that the consumer must have right now.
3. Probably what is most important lesson in this clip is to recognize you must add value first and the profits will flow. However, you must have: patience, passion for your idea and keep cost-effectively testing your marketing until you get the right mix.
Look at your business and let me know how you will solve a problem for the consumer that makes your business stand out while adding value as well.
I liked the post and your writing style. I’m adding you to my RSS reader.
Wish You a Merry Christmas.
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.
As a Newbie, I am always searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you
Some interesting and intelligent content you have here on your site. I have several wordpress sites and like your theme. I do notice that you are not monetising your traffic to its maximum which is what I used to do until someone pointed out to me that you can actually earn yourself some decent amounts to help pay your hosting and domain fees etc. Looking at your Alexa rankings I can see you obtain some decent traffic which for very little work could help you out. I use this WordPress Plugin which effectively turns words and phrases in all (or just some if you like) your content, making contexual links which your visitors will click upon. Take a look at it and see what I mean, I easily clear my hosting and other fees each month using this. Hope that helps you out – we fellow wordpress bloggers have to stick together!
Great post..will bookmark this..thanks
I love twitter, and I tweet probably way more than I should. I’ve followed you on twitter. I use twitter more than ever nowadays and my blog feels abandoned!
I have seen a lot of SEO success with WP. I outsource all of my work to experts and worry more about the important stuff such as keyword and title suggestions.
