Hi Glenn....I don't Twitter or Tweet as yet, and am not sure what the attraction really is....Is it a brief or small sentence soundbite? I see several well-known entertainment and/or news people use it, but is that it?....another vehicle for some to get their name out there? From that question, of course the next follows.....why would anyone buy stock in this business? After what happened with the early tech stocks, including Go2Net, Stamps, the grocery and the drug store sites that promised home delivery but didn't make it....etc...And especially in this economy, where we can't really trust the company AND/OR the government to tell anything close to the truth, color me skeptical and leary ... Obviously, the stock market is up, and many of us wonder why....when the economy is so iffy, no jobs to speak of, the health care insurance totally bouncing off the walls, the Government passing more and more regulations, and all the etcs of our current daily life. I wonder really how many new companies will make it.... Don't mean to sound negative, but I do wonder how real Anything really is right now...
