Twitter announces their advertising plan, basically they will insert ads into people's search results and even their personal message stream.
According to Twitter,
“It will be fascinating. Non-traditional. And people will love it... It’s going to be really cool.”

They also bought Tweetie and are making it the official Twitter client for iPhone, it will be renamed and will be free.
With that move they pissed off a lot of people doing paid Twitter clients.

I'm going to buy advert tweets which insinuate that people are doing awful things:
"Decided I should cheat on my husband after all"
etc...
Just imagine the carnage.

I realized Naomi Klein was an idiot since she wrote a libertarian like Milton Friedman was responsible for what neocons were doing.

They have to make money somehow. As some point these "popular" and "successful" sites actually have to come to the real world of making something to fund themselves.

If they don't make money and they disappeared tomorrow - I don't think the world would be any worse off.
