    Twitter CEO's Mockery: We 'Were Laughing at Those Media Guys'

    Twitter's revenues will be just $4 million this year, according to a new Wired feature story. But that's not going to crimp its co-founder's swagger: Evan Williams knows Twitter will be huge, and has words for anyone who says otherwise. More »

    Typo, Filler Ad, Mainstream Movie Herald New York Observer's Second Very Short List
