    Thats the difference between real founders (like this guy) and oportunist big talkers like, well, almost everybody else in the valley these days...

    Scammers follow money, and sadly this deserved homerun here will attract even more gold diggers with little or no knowledge about actual IT, but lots of "street smart" capabilities.

    Kudos to Omar anyways, he's a living proof than even in these twittertimes real skills trumps over snake oil marketing. #omarhamoui

    Am I really the benchmark for exits now? Ugh... I better have another hit soon. :-)

    Seriously big ups to fellow Sequoia Capital company AdMob on this HUGE home run.

    Amazing execution, perfect timing and a killer team = huge exit. #omarhamoui

    From the video;

    Some of these are probably bigger than we are right now, but we're bigger than we were 12 months ago

    Well now, you're even larger than you were.

    He sounds like a smart and prudent guy.
    Congratulations to him.

    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

    I know I am a FAIL because I don't get how blogs make money. Ad networks and Google AdSense? I don't even know what that means.

    @BxgrlJeri: I assume that it adheres to the South Park method of money-making:
    Step 1: Pictures of cute animals
    Step 2: AdSense
    Step 3: ???????
    Step 4: Profits!

    Facebook employees are not satisfied that their site wastes millions of man-hours a year on nonsense. So they are now proactively and surreptitiously wasting people's time with nonsense. Good going, guys!

    So basically all the "friends" that appear on her blog are paid or only in it for their own career advancement?
