Twitter just received almost $10 million more in funding, and has a reported $50 million in the bank (or perhaps a more secure place, like under the mattress). The company has no revenue, fewer than 30 employees, and has been criticized as being the dumbest idea ever. Yet Twitter remains the hottest company in the wacky world of Silicon Valley start-ups.
Why, I have no idea. I'm trying to refrain from these sort of instant analyses based on nothing more than my personal opinion--you know, the kind of fraudulent thing that guys like Tom Friedman do.
I can only tell you what my experience has been.I can describe, but I won't arrogantly prescribe, if you don't mind.
I admit being put off when I first heard of Twitter. It was positioned as a way for geeks with no social skills to tell each other that they were buying a Diet Coke with their Subway sandwich, or in a Seinfeld-esque way telling people that they were doing nothing except typing their thoughts into Twitter.
Yet those deep thinkers among us realized the profound "meta" insight that Twitter exploits: bird tweets have meaning.
