Works != Makes Money.

When you "make a profit" you are successful. Twitter has a long way to go before its successful. Thankfully it has patient investors who are allowing it to experiment with a revenue model, because they're convinced its a cash cow. I'm more skeptical of it being the next best thing.

Hardware, besides the cue cat, has to sell, and sell well enough that people are making money off the slim margins. TC will know its design is successful when Dell puts out a knock-off tablet for half the price.



He didn't mention twitter at all.


>Typing text messages on 9 keys and limited to 160 characters is torture as well.

I took this to mean Twitter. As many users of their service originally started out using it to mass-txt their friends.


It also says nothing about "mass texting"

They're only talking about texting. Not twitter.
