...fortunately, Twitter has some impressive business credentials, according to it's biggest investor...Twitter cofounder and CEO Ev Williams is headed to the White House today.
The administration invited him to join a “young business leaders" summit to discuss the economic crises.
As Ev himself puts it -- in a Twitter message, of course -- "[this] must mean they're *really* out of ideas."
Todd Dagres on Twitter's (Eventual) Business Model

"We think it’s kind of funny to listen to people [in the press] talk about the lack of a business model," he said. "We know how we’re going to do it, and we’re very confident about how we’re going to do it, and it’s not necessarily in our interest to tell people how we’re going to do it. There is a biz model that has yet to be implemented. Of course, I can't guarantee it’s going to work."
Dagres continued, "All of a sudden there will be some changes that won’t undermine the experience or the virality -- but it will be pretty obvious how we’re going to moentize it."
Twitter hasn't generated any revenue thus far. Dagres said that changing that situation was definitely a project for 2009. But "we’re in no rush right now," he said.
Isn't it nice to fantasize, amidst the current economic gloom, that you work for a company that is under no pressure to start bringing in revenue any time soon?
"Moentization"...
Thought it was a typo until I Googled it and found every Demlemming numbskull from DU to Huffingpost has cited this article, including "Moentization"...
...so I figure, either all these blog editors are
1) Illiterate
2) Morons
3) Don't know what Dagres was trying to say
4) Don't know what "monitization" means
5) Just don't care
6) All the above
...then it struck me. Of course, what a silly, out of touch person I am. MOENtization pertains to cash "flow".
