    If they want to churn the Suggested Users List, which they should, they should just automatically include everyone the elite who are already on the list recommend on #FollowFriday. #twitter

    The sequence of events behind the Twitter-Bing deal isn't working in an expected order. Twitter users are already (re)tweeting news about Twitter signing a deal with Bing. Of course, they are in a panic. "I don't want my tweets appearing in search results!"

    The internet: making things fun to watch! #twitter

    If the 400 employees put up $12k themselves--the price of a Hyundai--they could have gone independent and kept it solvent and perhaps growing.

    No way the FCC lets one company own 2 broadcast networks, leaving aside the issues around local tv stations.

    Why hasn't Comcast denied that it raped and murdered a girl in 1990?

    My worry would be Hulu and online TV in general.

    I'm sure Comcast would prefer people to use their subscription service (cable) and Murdoch has been making noise about charging fees. So if Comcast were to get a chunk of Hulu and become the source for a large segment of licensed online video content, it'd only be a matter of time until we're all paying a nickel, whenever we want to watch tee-vee.

    A purchase would mean Comcast is doubling-down on it's bleak future - tv will be via the internet, internet will be wireless. revenues won't support big productions, etc.

    @daveyjonesisdead: Comcast delivers the internet. If video goes away, they just charge more for broadband.

    Internet will be wireless, but only as an add on to wireline. Capacity and throughput of wireless are simply not enough, even in 4G, to have 100 million households watching video. Wireless supplement, but not replace, wireline.

    Ask ATT how the data usage from iPhones is treating their wireless network.

    Comcast, which owns cable and internet pipes but not the stuff that goes through them, has always wanted to own a content company, and made a failed pass at Disney five years ago.

    Not true. Comcast also owns Comcast Networks which includes E!, Versus, Golf Channel, Style and G4
