The Mind of Alex

Oh well now! It seems that well funded internet titan [they have raised something to the effect of 125 million dollars, according to TechCrunch], seems to want to work with Twitter. But not in the classic sense, instead they want to aggregate Twitter applications and monetize them. They have been sending out an email to a variety of developers, attempting to drum up business. Developers will probably benefit from this, given the difficulty involved with monetizing a single application. Glam as the connections, if they aggregate the applications for developers, they could have a clean shot to get the hard working Twitter ecosystem developers some deserved cash.

Glam Media is a giant in the world, with offices scattered in major cities, and millions upon millions of viewers to their content. In fact, their corporate site 111 million monthly uniques. With the weight of their publisher clout with advertising companies cannot pull this off, who can?

Update - TechCrunch has a copy of the letter that developers are getting. Our tippers apparently cannot cut and paste.
