Twitter: Screw Revenue, TV Time!

By Alex Wilhelm on May 25, 2009

Through all the over discussed history of Twitter, I have always tried to give Twitter the benefit of the doubt. I would think “Well, I have no clue why they are doing this, but I am sure that I am missing something would make it make sense.” No more. Twitter is going after television. No,  you read that correctly, Twitter is headed Hollywood.

Spare me your groans, I have uttered enough of my own to cover us all. Twitter, apparently not growing fast enough, wants to reach out and, well, I am not sure really. They claim to want to “bring the immediacey of Twitter to life on TV.” (source). Really, what a waste of time, money, and such a powerful brand. Instead of building their core product and business, Twitter is off on a goose chase.

Hey Twitter, you already cannot handle the users you have. So, instead of doing this, why not buy some more servers?

  1. Exactly!!

    Twitter needs to get their core service working properly before they start trying to cash in the brand name for any quick buck.

  3. Great work! I also have my own blog I just find it hard to write quality content like this. I guess I really don’t have the time.
