>400,000 a month

If only 25% of your followers use SMS alerts your account is costing Twitter a cool $3000-$4000 per month !!!

This model has no future.

I love the show, too, but in this one you offended the Taiwanese with your political ignorance.

Hey Jason, talk about this one

:-)

>These sites are the future.

We will see, IMHO these sites will develop to simple re-blogging sites that pay/employ a few dozen "users" - all others will only be allowed to influence the KIND of stories that are published.

I asked you before, what is the point in employing 30 people at Netscape to fight the gaming and fraud of the system?

How can this compete with sites like Techmeme?

And what is the point of using digg when there are already excellent blogs out there that cover your interests.

IMHO blogs and blog networks that offer more user participation are the future.

Jason, why are you so "obsessed" with what's happening at your ex-competitor?

Sites like digg will not work in the long term, that is no secret.

Where is Jason on the podcast, I can't hear him. Maybe Winer had the same problem.

Forget it Jason, you need scale to make money in the hardware business. Today, the chip developers are the driving force in the consumer market, they try to accumulate all the System know-how and then put out dirt cheap chips for everyone. If you do not have the scale of Apple you cannot afford your own development team.

Jason, I don't know you well but I already figured out where your heart is, it is with the entrepreneurs!

Just listen to your own voice on podcasts, when you are talking about entrepreneurs you always get an adrenaline rush, this is so exciting - for you and us, I love it.

It seems you also have a rare talent for hiring the right people.

Becoming a VC is too easy, you can reinvent the VC business.

Say that Jason: "Hate it or love it the under dog's on top
And I'm gon shine homie until my heart stop"

It is called Studivz (Studi is the short form of Student)
