by Super2online April 16, 2009 10:57 AM PDT: They will come out of negotiations with Microsoft and Google. Of course Microsoft doesn't really want it, their goal is just to drive the cost sky high for Google to waist there money on it. Remember, there never has been a business model for this company without the big boys folding it into their aspirations.; Like this Reply to this comment

by photorina April 16, 2009 12:30 PM PDT: Twitter let me post more than 140 characters this morning. And I've noticed that tweets have their own individual pages now. (For example: http://twitter.com/photorina/status/1536026042) I bet you anything that's the big announcement. If so, that's a really big change!; Like this Reply to this comment


by Dmartin17 April 16, 2009 12:35 PM PDT: I don't get the draw with Twitter. Someone is going to overpay big time for this thing.

I can only hope it is the "we're not evil" google.; Like this Reply to this comment


by og_gta April 16, 2009 1:47 PM PDT: Might be lil news, just like Sony had a announcement and everyone thought it was something big ($100 price cut on the PS3). Instead the announcement was about the PS2 for only $100. lol; Like this Reply to this comment
