Provingxetentcy: Start Making Money

I can't say I'm surprised that the tool is free — as others have pointed out here, similar tools for other platforms (Google Analytics, Facebook Insights / share button) are also free. Anyone who runs his/her own website can generally rely on access to no added cost tools through their webhost (or the aforementioned Google Analytics).

Another key reason Twitter would have a hard time charging users? The plethora of 3rd party Twitter tools that already exist. Of course Twitter is going to have a leg up on 3rd party tools as they own the platform, but there are some existing tools (both free and pay) that have developed quite a user base.

It wouldn't surprise me if, in the future, Twitter had 'tiered' products — some type of analytics, free, for your average user and an 'enterprise' solution for businesses and power marketers.

I've always enjoyed George Washington's columns. Very deep and well structured. This one too fits the bill.

I sympathisize with the premise of this article, unfortunately, it's not just Paulson that would need to be under the microscope. Let's not forget that congress turned a blind eye to his activities. Any charges brought against Paulson would line congress up against the litigants.

The Fed was also in the know of what Paulson was doing and were complicit. In fact, they too have stretched their responsibilities all "for the sake of the economy".

I think a more pointed discussion about Paulson should focus on his being CEO of Goldman Sachs in 2004 when he lobbied Bush hard for liberalizing the banking laws so they could leverage up more, and then becoming treasury secretary to protect the mess he made and the people he made it with. The clear conflict of interest is ENORMOUS.

If the TBTF fell, his own personal wealth would tank since he still held so much Goldman Sachs stock.

Another very clear conflict of interest that related his holding of Goldman Sachs stock was his engineering the failure of Lehman Bros, the biggest competitor of Goldman Sachs. Removing their biggest competitor ensured high prices of GS, and his, stock.

The corruption really has no bounds, and congress, on the payroll of the banks, are complicit. Our democracy is not functioning well at all, and the government is viewing people like us as a threat.

We're not the threat, we're just pointing out what most of the people don't see. In the end, the system will fail, and those at the top that made it happen will hide with their fat bank accounts while the rest of us fight for the scraps.
