    Hi John,

    Shouldn’t you be twittering on twitter that you are now twittering on twitter. 🙂

    I’m loving the clips of ‘the Office’ to open the audio.

    The thing about the Vista vs. Win-XP is this. Is Microsoft always going to be phasing out its last successful OS, in favor of its latest flavor of the decade OS? Can’t an OS be good enough to keep selling, while maturing the next one? If Microsoft isn’t going to give consumers a choice but to “upgrade or die”. Then they should patch their stupid validation software, so at least current users aren’t going to be screwed when they have to reload Win-XP, and the thing tells them, “Sorry we no longer validate XP. Buy Vista”. The life expectancy of your software shouldn’t be dependent on some entity’s phone bank or website, keeping it going. I and seriously doubt that the EULA says anything about it’s continued usefulness being subject to the whim of Microsoft. Does “Microsoft reserve the right to pull the rug out from under its consumers at any time.”? If so then it’s one of the world’s worst software makers.

    Twitter is a joke. Where’s the revenue? We used to laugh at Pets.com. 8 years later, servers, bandwidth and employees still cost a lot of money.

    Hello? Knock knock. Any Web 2.0 people at home?

    There’s some extra HTML that’s mucking up the link. I fixed the same thing in the Tech5 report a few weeks ago.

    Fixed link. Right click to download.

  7. Let me get this straight. Twitter is a joke because there is no revenue. So I shouldn’t use it? I’m not a shareholder worried about revenue. Are you? I’m not getting your point. Are you saying that if something has no revenue then it has no value? Clue me in.

    The chicken chicken PowerPoint had no revenue either… And, yes, I WAS a shareholder.

    No John, you shouldn’t use twitter because it’s an asinine waste of time. I thought you knew that.

  11. jim h says:

    No I don’t really want MS to just sell XP forever. What I really want from them is something new and cool that I can get excited about. Vista definitely wasn’t it.

    I didn’t say you should use it, John. I said Twitter is a joke that has no legitimate revenue model. It’s a short-lived fad. Twitter costs a lot money to run.

    So what IS the value in Twitter? Maybe you can clue me in. Show me the money.
