probably’d don’t have the: a) same support infrastructure (meet-ups, networking events, etc.); There are more than enough meet-ups and networking events; we’ve got plenty of examples of successes in the area; and there are plenty of startups to jump to in case of a startup failure.

Many of the initial commentators (at least when I signed up for Twitter in April 2007) seemed to talk about it as a “microblogging” platform where people like Robert Scoble were free to tell quick thoughts about what was going on in the world in real time vs. This post is part of my ongoing series Twitter 101 for all those that still “don’t get” Twitter. I’m now moving from the 101 basics into the business

When Twitter first became popular with niche crowds in 2007 it seemed to take hold initially with bloggers. People have started blogging again having taken a hiatus since 2007 (actually, I was initially embargoed by Salesforce.com who didn’t want me blogging after they acquired my company).
When Twitter started gaining hyper traction in early 2009 many people signed up and/or returned to use it again having had failed attempts at getting excited by Twitter People had been steadily blogging for 2-3 years and this crowd seemed to bifurcate.

That is — despite the huge valuation — a drop from the prior, $15 billion valuation that Microsoft gave the firm back in October of 2007. Tags: Social Networking Venture Capita The big news today is bound to center around Facebook (which just raised $200M, at a $10 billion valuation ).
