A research note written by a 15-year-old, who was not born when former UK chancellor Nigel Lawson dismissed London analysts as “teenage scribblers”, has become the talk of middle-aged media executives and investors.Twitter is pointless. It has some value, but how can you run a business based upon the occasional riot in Tehran or plane crash in the Hudson?
“Teenagers do not use Twitter,” he pronounced. Updating the micro-blogging service from mobile phones costs valuable credit, he wrote, and “they realise that no one is viewing their profile, so their tweets are pointless”.
Hey John. I asked you this more than a year ago. Where's the revenue? Show me the money.

I think rumors of Twitter's demise have been greatly exaggerated, as have rumors about California's demise.
Sometimes I wonder about the motives behind those rumors.
Boomers are techno-phobic fools.
California will be fine. 30 years from now our kids and grandkids won't even remember the current insanity.
Twitter? Hah! I expect that some dumbass corp will buy it for billions then lose everything as the market buzz collapses. It's been 10 years since broadcast.com, so the timing is about right.

Andrew, the people who are dissing Twitter are teenagers. You know, future customers. It's the boomers who say they like Twitter. Yet no one has been able to figure out a way to make boomers pay for it.

They could always use some of the piles of money that they've stolen from their kids and grandkids. :-p
