Twitter? Monetizing timewasting.

So, my techguru friend CK was on Twitter and there’s an aqualicious client for Mac OS X (Twitterfic 2.0 beta available here). Twitterfic 1.5 kept messing up my network connection- we’ll see how twitterific behaves.

Why does Twitter rock? This image (via Library House’s blog) pretty much sums it up:

All those posts at the bottom- if linked into your phone- generate major amounts of traffic.

Ringtones, games, video, etc are all about wasting time. Monetizing timewasting. I believe this is one of the great new business models… Blogger, Flicker, Youtube and now Twitter.

I won’t be a heavy user, just while on my Mac (self imposed twitter limits), but my profile is here.
