Twitter and Monetization: Advertising and Analytics
Twitter has been unloading ads in my sidebar. Monetization of Twitter is evolving like the monetization of Google. Grow your audience first. Monetize BIG second.
I really hope I don’t see too many ads like this, though. I’d rather Twitter be monetized through analytics and trend data. That would be a sweet value-add, generating useful data rather than pushing unwanted commercial advertisement.
Regardless, congrats Twitter team! It’s been an amazing ride! Looking forward to what yall do next.
What do you think about the recent addition of advertisements on Twitter?
Feedback is Your Most Important Intangible Asset
Any organization or member thereof is challenged with a special flavor of egocentrism. Without feedback, we can only experience the world through our own eyes, ears, and fingertips; feedback is the mirror that enables us to perceive a little bit beyond these constraints. To see our product or service as our market, or a member thereof, sees it.
A few benefits:
- Quality Control.
- Prevention of Groupthink.
- Epistemic Market Research.
- Product Testing.
- Improvement.

Feedback is your most important intangible asset.
It’s mine too. That in mind, I’d like to ask you a favor.
What do you think of my site so far? Thanks in advance for your input. I sincerely appreciate it! :)
Procrastination Complements Productivity
Since the cost of doing something wrong can be 10x+ the cost of doing something right, a little slower, I believe that procrastination complements productivity.
A quick story from my teenage years. My brother and I were hiking around Point Sal for a few days. We hit a road after hiking over rough terrain and followed it for about a half hour. We were ravenous and exhausted, but had to keep going. We needed to get back home. We could have kept going (or just looked from atop a nearby hill) to find a fantastic local steakhouse and used their payphone to call friends to pick us up. Instead, we traversed cowfieilds on steep, windy hills. We ended up walking for several more hours than we needed, offcourse. We still found our way (and have great memories of the event), but it we quite literally took the hard road when we didn’t need to.
Procrastination Complements Productivity
Imagine you hit a fork in the road while walking, and your destination is 5 miles in one direction. You just don’t know which direction to take. You could take a left or right. You make the wrong choice and end up walking 15 miles instead of 5. Don’t just go when you hit that crossroads. Look around in the grass, you may just find a sign. Look around in the sky, you may find a signal. Wait. You’ll save time. :)
