I found this fascinating quote today:

Have you heard of Twitter? Of course you have. It’s yet another concept in the evolution of social networking and digital communication. We’ve come a long way from AOL and instant messaging. Now, we have sites like Facebook and MySpace to keep in touch, as well as all kinds of messaging devices. Twitter, however, is building a brand identity based on short little messages, an evolution of texting capabilities. These little bursts of communication, not longer than 140 characters, can be distributed across many web and mobile platforms.Mallas Steven, Twitter: Is it worth $250 million?, Jan 2009

I think Twitter users would say its worth that and much more!  The price for using Twitter in their online businesses for marketing is PRICELESS!
