Twitter Trio

Twitter Trio. They're not the Google guys — yet. Maybe they never will be. But Biz Stone, Jack Dorsey and Evan Williams's free micro-blogging service Twitter attracted sensational buzz, a dramatic increase in users and even a takeover offer from Facebook this year, despite a lack of a clear business model. The "hyper-grapevine" news resource has signed up millions of accounts for sending and receiving "tweets" — quick-fire text messages limited to 140 characters. But despite its increasing popularity, Twitter won't ever replace "old media" like newspapers, Dorsey told I Want Media. "We will always need a medium that carries more words." ( Edited by mdudlik)

Twitter is addicting (almost as much as makefive) and completely pointless, and the owners have found a way to not only thrive, but they've been able to get rid of some of the competition (pownce just closed down)

Hopefully they'll figure other things out, like how to get that business model thing going.
