The end of an interesting week of conversations, speaking events and research. The week began reading the news that Twitter will soon be carrying video content. Great for fun and creating even more online noise but will it offer any real business benefits?
The other pertinent Twitter news of the week includes the revelation that Sarah Brown's following of 840,000 is five time bigger than the entire Labour membership and that although the social networking site is yet to turn a profit or even outline how it ever intends to do so it is valued at a cool 630 Million Pounds.
Best Twitter uses of the week include Private Eye reporting from inside the commons about the gagging order attempted to be placed on The Guardian by dodgy oil firms and their lawyers and the mass mobilisation of disgust at a Daily Mail columnists far right rantings about Steven Gately's death being linked to his 'non-Christian' ways. Bother led to great outcomes for decency and illustrated the power of social networking for lobbying purposes. But neither illustrate positive business application.
