VentureBeat: Thanks to Oprah, we can finally stop talking about Twitter

    I joined twitter, but I find it to be more of a time waster than a good marketing strategy. Maybe if I was already as famous as Oprah or Ashton.

    I just wrote a piece on this myself called "the day twitter died" basically the jist is that once my mom is on a social network I move on. This is the cool thing about the internet and also why there will always be new tech companies. The reason is simple, people like me like to know about things that other people don't. Once they hit mainstream we don't care and move on. Then main stream follows and the circle continues.

    If I my plug my website go to fatjewishguy.com and read the whole article. But yes, today Twitter managed to die a quick and painlesss death.

    At what point is someone going to acknowledge that Twitter has some type of deal with Ashton Kutcher (along with Diddy, Ryan Seascrest, Jimmy Fallon and Oprah)? This isn’t about malaria – this is about money. I watched Larry King last night – it was a 30 minute Twitter infomercial . When Twitter eventually sells, I would be shocked if we don’t find out that Kutcher and the gang had some type of profit share deal. This is not news -- This is a marketing campaign.

    Malaria is a serious killer responsible for millions of deaths on the african continent. Mosquito nets are a new manufactured business imposed on poor africans as another band aid solution to their suffering. Unfortunately nets cannot be worn. They cover beds at night and this is an important solution and a blessing to a good night's sleep. However, Africa needs a solution that goes to the root of the probem. I would rather see the likes of Angelina Jolie adopting villages or orphanages and following their money and monitoring progress instead of raising money or mosquito nets and never followng through to their delivery or usage. Come on fellow Americans, roll up your sleeves and adopt villages and get out of your comfort zones. This is by no means to say that your intentions are not nobles--they are well meaning but naive.
