Hi tom, reading through your reponses...... would it be fair to say that SI is 95% off you digital footprint? I see the value of twitter...... although not so far for me. The WSJ had an article last year about a 24 year old guy who was a motorcycle consultant/ enthusiast.... he was hooked up with a circle that gave him 24/7 breaking news on every new motorcycle, new parts/ add ons..... as well as all global factory recalls and as well as all new insurance options, and a myriad of other info that motorcycle enthusiasts want. This made him and expert and he was able sell consutling services and was up to the hour on his industry. doing it out of Hong Kong. twitter is the real deal in that when they had protests in Iran last year the info got out only on twitter. when we had earthquake/tsunami in Japan..... the early info comes out on twitter. This is ridiculously powerful. I'm not properly using it either.... it's cause we're old ( anyone over 15-18) is OLD and is thinking about the world they grew up in......may as well be thinking about using plow horses and hand driven weaving looms. I do have an idea for twitter that I believe could be a grand slam....... and would be global and would become a key trading tool....... we really need to talk about it. Upfront capital contribution...... zero...... John
