Obama asks Twitter for financial Advice

[eleison]

Twitter for advice


"Twitter cofounder and CEO Ev Williams is headed to the White House today.

The administration invited him to join a "young business leaders" summit to discuss the economic crises.

As Ev himself puts it -- in a Twitter message, of course -- "[this] must mean they're *really* out of ideas."

A reminder: With 6 million members and 700% plus growth, Twitter makes no money in the US. (It sells some ads in Japan). "

Wow.. looks like its going to be a long 4 years.. There has to be some drinking game that people can play involving the Obama administration???

Why? That just means he can't be added to the administration

A business with no revenue model is innovative?

I thought we had too many of those already.

Still, I like Ev's sense of humor

no but we can do it for a laundry list of other reasons! Also he is probably talking to him to find out how he can ruin innovators even quicker. just kidding. Or he could asking for a back door to all the accounts so he he can start his 2012 champaign!

You're right, it's 140. Dunno why I thought 154.

no what your smelling is the putrid smell of those who will attack Obama for every little thing including trying to get advice from people who might have something innovative to contribute!

Actually one of the digns of a great president is that he understands his linitations and surrounds himself with those who take up the slack!

Unlike GWB.....nah we won`t go...

 

[GenHoth]

Selling something people want makes you understand how to run an economy? Call the grocery stores! Those guys must be geniuses! Obama may not deserve to get jumped on for this, but really... What does this guy know that hasn't already been said?
