Twitter to Start Charging for Business Accounts?



It has come to our attention that after a few years of building up a generous portfolio of users Twitter is actively brainstorming monetization methods of their social marketing platform which might be implemented very shortly. I mean it was bound to happen sooner or later. With this much use and attention how has it been so difficult for Twitter to make some money.

Twitter has realized just how important their little social marketing and micro blogging tool has become to many growing businesses. Maybe they have decided to finally make some money off the people that are making money on their platform. It ironic that their users are making a profit and growing businesses and organizations on Twitter but Twitter itself does not yet have a solid business plan on how it will make money. I’m glad to see the people at Twitter are starting to spin their wheels and figure out how to navigate from the red over to the riches of the green.

This is a great step but much more will be needed to become a cash generating monster. How long will investors keep coughing up bags of dough to keep their servers chugging? How would they figure out costs for commercial accounts? Also how about the thousands of consultants that leave cheeky responses and trickle in bits of self promotion here and there? How do you charge them? Do you only charge to the big guys? This is great step for Twitter but i’m sure there are loads of revisions that will take place before this makes it live.

Welcome to Huluwood – Online Television



How man of you have ever heard of Hulu? Hulu allows you to watch all your favorite TV shows right from your computer. Some say Hulu will change the way television is viewed especially with younger generations already doing everything on the computer. With giants like YouTube and Hulu will the playing field of video broadcast change for good? YouTube has already become a social media marketing anomaly with many copy cat websites growing in power each and every single day. Hulu stores full episodes of some of your favorite TV shows ready for you to watch at your pace and your time. Social media marketing is quickly changing the way communication and interaction occur. We all new television would eventually make to our computers but nobody really knew how long it would take. We have only seen the beginning of this powerful new online medium.
