Great full transcript of interview with Twitter COO Dick Costolo at CrunchUp.
Quote: What are you doing? (Laughs) That's exactly what I want to start with, we decided to change that wording yesterday. Before "what are you doing?" didn't make sense. People would look and say, "what are you doing?" and they'd say "nothing." Added: November 20, 2009 at 2:21PM EST

The audience for uncurated Twitter is dropping. There's a huge opportunity for anyone who curates Twitter (hint: Lists are NOT curating)

- High-End Brand Publishers Need to Sell Scalable Premium Ad Solutions, Not Commodity Ad Space
- Publishing 2.0
-
- Quote: What would advertisers be willing to pay a consistent premium for? The holy grail of every advertiser — to become media, i.e. to create high quality content that attracts and retains an audience of current and prospective customers. Advertisers would also pay a premium to align the value that they create for the consumer with the value that high-end brand publishers create for consumers — just like on a search results page, where the ads are as valuable as the “editorial” content. But if every high-end brand publisher tries to deliver such a solution by themselves, it won’t scale for advertisers. The key is to scale across many high-end brand sites while still delivering the kind of premium value that commands premium pricing. Added: October 26, 2009 at 12:36PM EDT
