    Is Twitter a way to tap the collective unconscious and thus unify humanity? Perhaps.

    After trying acid for the first time, I became much more interested in Twitter, and began arguing this very point. #jackdorsey

    The "Red Book" isn't just free-form journaling. Jung was legit crazy -- he had hallucinatory episodes, which he welcomed and actively indulged in. He recorded them, and they're what the Red Book is based off of. #jackdorsey

    @BBooms: I don't think that exploring your own mind through intentionally induced hallucinations makes someone "legit crazy." I think it's cool and fascinating. #jackdorsey

    @metoometoo: Jung supposedly heard voices and his hallucinations/visions weren't artificially induced. But instead of seeking help to cure whatever what going on with him like the vast majority of people would have done, he liked being able to "explore his subconscious."

    I think it's all really badass, but voices and visions falls under my definition of "crazy." #jackdorsey

    @BBooms: Fair enough. I wouldn't use the word "crazy" because it seems dismissive of the validity of his insights. I'd call him a visionary. But, you know, semantics, meh. #jackdorsey

    In light of the Jane Harman hooha, they might want to avoid the appearance of being involved in our state department/military business.

    @fugit: I'd argue that the most important job of a CEO is removing obstacles from her team's path. And human resources, if done well, should be about that. I grant that it is rarely done well.

    Did she design the thing she’s wearing? Because I need a bespoke toga for an unusually pretentious frat party I’ll be attending later this week.

    @iplaudius: Ha! All I could think while reading this post was, "Where can I get that dress?" Me likes.


    Twitter should charge "twit identities" that use it to pimp/plug their business. For example: See Guy Kawasaki/Alltop. Charge a nominal fee, like Craigslist does to advertise jobs for profit making companies.

    @kitkatsplash: I had to make an elaborate heteronormative excuse, because I like it too, but I’m a dude (and not into cross-dressing).


    I like your idea about monetizing Twitter (yick, I just said monetize ... what next, "impactful"?). Maybe they could charge for every account linked to an email address within a corporate domain?


    How about this: every time a post mentions a brand name or product, a fee is charged to an escrow account. If there is no money in the account, then the post doesn’t get published. It doesn’t matter who pays into the brand-related accounts, though, obviously, the companies whose products are being mentioned are the ones who should pay. They could scale it so that the price-per-mention goes down with more mentions. The prices should be very low — it’d be all about volume.


    Of course, spam from competitors could deplete the accounts. A l33t filter might be necessary to. I don’t know ... this kind of thing could piss a lot of people off.

    Seems like a great match, but, in my opinion, the power couple to watch closely this year is Mark McLeod and Miley Cyrus.
