Yes, it's s simple distinction but an important one that is often overlooked. Mass movement finds its own logic. The Twitter founders are simply enabling it. There couldn't be a better model for where technology is taking us and is guaranteed to continue to yield unexpected results. It's great fun to watch the fruits of their risk taking. thanks for the feedback, Simon Thanks Eric. Yes, it’s s simple distinction but an important one that is often overlooked.

I think most people didn't realize Twitter's founders real vision. From the start it was never about building another "me-too" product or a new revenue-modeled business, but an investigation into the human network and the outcome of mass coordination. It certainly has turned out to be something nobody could have predicted, which is a great for innovation but bad for profit-hungry people looking for Twitter business model. Evan already made a ton of money having sold Blogger to Google, so in essence they can afford to take more risks with a holistic approach to foster creativity and drive innovation. Simon,
