Twitter has reportedly been valued by investors at $1 billion with Oprah Winfrey on board the twitter ship.
A high-profile D conference was set yesterday with the company's (Twitter) founders. So it's odd they seem to see their own product as a repository for jokes about cleavage, bird shit and killing Jason Calacanis.
There were many comments about twitter as many would write that twitter is just another social networking site. Some would like to post their impressions or products so that users or any web paparazzi can get a hold of the real score. Nonetheless, we quote some of what the users think of twitter.
Twitter allows its users to mark some tweets they find particularly amusing, insightful, witty, informative, or whatever as "favorites."
But this may also mean that rifling through the founders' favorites is a pretty good way to get a sense of what they think Twitter is good for: crude jokes and narcissistic status updates.
Below is a sample of the tweets from the Favorites lists of co-founders Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey. Dorsey is the one who faved the frat-boy-ish Calacanis item.
Ideally, from a business standpoint, Twitter executives would be highlighting innovative uses of the service — from hard news to customer support to more creative forms of tweeting — if only to help spread it to more users.
As Stone told the Wall Street Journal, "we need to make Twitter the product more relevant to more people." Hopefully they'll highlight some ways to do that tonight at D. Because the founders are not always the best at doing so with their own tools.
