Twitter's co-founder Biz Stone said yesterday that that the company will officially add paid services for businesses to generate revenue in the fourth quarter. It's not the first time he's mentioned in. In fact, the announcement started breaking in the third week of August. Only when Stone spoke to VentureBeat, there were more details of what the company was considering:
Taking potshots at mainstream media -- or defending the old guard -- seems to have become an online mania. From what I can see, there are ways out of free-famish on one side and pay-poor on the other. It is possible for companies to look at what is happening online and realize that if you're going to survive on the Internet as a viable medium, you have to find ways to go native. Simply translating what existed in print isn't going to work any better than thinking you can take a novel and translate it, page for page, into a screenplay.
Salesforce.com has added integrations with Twitter and Facebook to its call center management application, allowing to steal a further march on the likes of Oracle, SAP and Microsoft.
The iPhone App Store is so full that it's frustrating developers who want to make a name for themselves. Google's Android Market is more fertile, but technical issues create barriers of a different sort.

The term "Internet time" became so hackneyed so quickly that it virtually died out. A quick search on Google News suggests that an entire month -- surely at least a couple of years worth of that Internet time -- can pass without seeing the phrase in the press. Perhaps that is because the drive for speed has become such an assumption that it barely needs saying. But the desire to move ever faster makes the mistake that the tools which are supposed to move things quickly actually do. And often they don't.
Last week, Bose Corp. won a two-year-old dispute over its Wave trademark, having lost that major piece of intellectual property at one point, which should be welcome news to most industries, including high tech. And the reason can be summed up in one word: Medinol.
It's been a busy summer, with tech companies doing their best to weather the storm or, in some cases, take advantage of their inherent strengths to batter their less fortunate competitors. So lots of noise, but how much of what happened in the past few months is worth remembering as we return to wor...
Ever since the European Commission, the EU's antitrust regulator, said that it was delaying the Sun acquisition, Oracle must be sweating bullets. All that time and energy putting together the deal to buy Sun and courting US regulators could go for naught if things don't pass muster on the other side of the Atlantic.
There is a plethora of stories about the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit giving Microsoft a stay of the permanent injunction that would prevent sales of copies of Word that infringed the i4i patent. But forget about the breathless coverage, because this was to be expected. If a company...
It seems that in 2006, Google applied for a design patent on its home page that was just granted this week. (Via Patently-O.) Apparently copyright wasn't enough protection and Google wants to have a lever to deter those who would come up with a Google-like front end. And the patent apparently references another design patent that the company got on how it presents search results. But there are some problems here.
Back in January, Cisco announced a line of servers that, as the concept developed publicly, looked like an attempt to get into the data center and lock the door, leaving other vendors on the outside. By June, my colleague Michael Hickins noted that big business was ignoring Cisco servers in droves. Now there's news of another development suggesting that Cisco servers could be in deeper doo-doo than previously thought.
This just in: the US Patent and Trademark Office has announced that current Commissioner for Patents John Doll, who has been at the agency for decades, will resign on October 2. That is months before his contract was supposed to be up, and given all the "we thank John for his public service and wish him well" language in the announcement, it sounds as though he was pushed out.
No doubt the iPhone's popular â€" and no doubt that AT&T has been feeling the operational heat. The recent New York Times article about customer anger at the often-overloaded AT&T network is nothing new to anyone who has watched the iPhone market. But the dynamics of smartphone use suggests that the drive to cloud computing had better be matched by a waiting information autobahn, as the virtual superhighway is proving itself inadequate to satisfy customer expectations.
