Information wants to be free - and it's about time that people realized that.</p><p>These days, any way that a dollar sign can be attached to Twitter is hailed as "the answer to Twitter's monetization problem." But I'm not entirely certain that there IS a problem. Twitter is a technology - a technology which could be folded into a larger-context social network to flesh out functionality. While that might not add value directly, it'll dramatically increase user engagement, and that's what will keep it going - the value that's added tangentially.</p><p>Nice post! Glad to see I'm not the only one bowing down to the Cult of Arrington.</p>RobMon, 08 Jun 2009 04:54:21 -0000
