So as you guys can clearly see, I only have one post. I’m going to start using my Tumblr a lot to post short little videos, pictures, posts, and maybe if any of you guys have any questions (personal or code/techincal) I can answer those too.
To get in contact with me and/or ask a question, you can @reply me on Twitter as @jonahgrant. You can also find me on AIM/iChat as thomefan95b or email me at grantjonah@me.com. Look forward to, uh, whatever is going to happen :)
If you still don’t know about it, Facebook bought FriendFeed today. I was thinking about what the next big aquisition is going to be. Twitter is going to be bought by Apple and its going to go like this.
-Login with your iTunes account.
-Depending on how many links and @replys you have it will cost you $.69, $.99, $1.29
-You then submit it to the Tweet Review Team (TRT)
96% of Tweets are accepted within 14 days.

Jonah: What was so promising about Twitter back in 2007 that made you join 6 others and invest $5 million in it?
Dick: When I first saw Twitter back in 2007 I was like many other people: I didn’t get it, I didn’t really understand it and what it was but when more people started using it and my friends got on I realized how many people were using it. I remember specifically one time I tweeted that I landed in New York and someone in San Francisco said, “Hey I’m in New York for the week, lets go out to dinner.” This is something that would never happen on any other social networking platform.
Jonah: How does Twitter generate revenue to keep on running?
Dick: So I think the short answer is there are many, many ways that Twitter can make money. Paid accounts for businesses, analytics, special profile pages, advertising opportunities with millions of people following them, everything.

@BPGlobalPR Billboards
I’m a huge fan of the @BPGlobalPR tweets, in fact, in writing the last project we’re doing this year is a satire skit, and I wrote mine soley based on them. These billboards make the tweets 10x better.
