    According the script, Sean Parker was also "the guy" who founded Napster.

    I figured that the picture on the left was a JT candid, the one on the right was Parker (which it is), and that I'd see JT-as-Parker after I clicked on the post. Are they seriously just having him grow his hair out a bit and letting that be enough to supposedly look like Parker? This should be interesting. #thesocialnetwork

    He's actually right, about ads: if you take all of the spammer shit out (which is low-yield anyway) there's just not enough ad money to fuel every news site on the internet.

    Of course you can work things out, but that would require entire sites like gawker and such to be run by no more than 5 guys as a side-business from their homes, without offices, parties or any fancy shit like say a salary.

    And BTW, it's PROTIP, havent you ever read a Gamepro?

    Why on earth would Tom Cruise be interested in moving to SF? I mean, economically, geographically or culturally . . . what of SF could possibly be of interest to Mr. Cruise?

    I just don't see it. #tomcruise

    You can use this genius strategy even if you have a bricks-and-mortar store:

    1. Destroy all the roads to your store
    2. Eliminate signs/GPS signal that might lead people there
    3. Raise prices
    4.????

    This is perhaps the saddest day ever. First we learn that Sex Goddess Andrea Peyser is only being read by a mere 500,000 people, and now we are being threatened with the possibility that Sex Goddess Andrea Peyser might not appear on Google searches. Oh the humanity! #rupertmurdoch

    The Iranian "revolution"?

    Oh, y'mean that National Endowment For Democracy-backed astroturf campaign? The one where some British company shipped in thousands of little portable digital cameras so that we could see all those "viral" videos of what was happening in the streets?

    What color was that one, anyway? Green, or something? #iran

    Though the charges have since been dropped, but if an American can be arrested for twittering a "revolution", then our government can't really condemn others for cracking down on those in the field.

    @Pope John Peeps II: Agreed, but when I first heard of the Madison fellow's arrest, I immediately thought of the shot to our credibility, if we were to condemn other governments for making similar arrests.

    It's sort of like when the Bush-era waterboarding story was confirmed. It wasn't even days until comparisons were made to WWII-era convictions for war crimes.

    Sure, the charges against Mr. Madison have been dropped, but if we want to be able to encourage social networking as a means to organize, then we can't be arresting people for doing the same thing. #iran

    Interesting. But numbers alone arent the only issue. In terms of organizing, sometimes it is just as important to have the "influencers"-- ie, those people who can round up their friends/family/coworkers etc. -- in touch with each other. If twitter helped these "influencers" gain a sense of momentum and round people up, it served a far-reaching purpose.
