Tweet This Text
TweetThisText is brought to you by the crew at Happy Stapler. We like to find opportunities and build solutions. TweetThisText is another of those solutions.
We're on twitter most of the time. We noticed that we'd really like to be able to quote text from webpages without having to shorten a link and say something like "It's in the second para fr the bottom third sentence in."
We code and we design. We saw all the pieces and decided to bring them all together, staple them if you will, and make a new thing from the parts. It makes us happy to do this stuff.

Twitter Confirms Paid Pro Accounts
More revenue for Twitter on the way: The company confirms -- for the first time we've seen, at least -- age-old theories that they'll sell commercial accounts to power users or companies using Twitter.
In exchange for a fee, companies could get "more features" on Twitter, the WSJ reports. Twitter cofounder Biz Stone tells the WSJ that the company recently hired a product manager to help develop those accounts, but doesn't specify what the extra features will be or when the accounts will launch.
This makes perfect sense. There's a lot of stuff companies would pay Twitter for, such as a way to verify the company rep's legitimacy; to more analytics and information about who is reading their Twitter page; to better tracking features to see what people are saying about their company.
What would you pay for an account like this? We could see a lot of companies paying $10 or $20 a month for the service, even for simple tools. But we could also see many companies -- Comcast, JetBlue, Starbucks, etc. -- paying more than one hundred dollars per month for really good, insightful tools.

Twitscoop was built to help you stay on top of twitter's hot topics or discussions.

Twitter Turns Three,Growing More Faster
Twitter, that ubiquitous little collection of emotional grunts and other 140 character ramblings, is turning 3 years old today at 1:02 PM California time. Founding CEO Jack Dorsey Twittered earlier today linking back to one of the first Twitter messages, which read “inviting coworkers.”
The news about Twitter didn’t break until July 2006, when it was called twttr . I love reading our first post on the service, which I described as “a sort of “group send” SMS application. Each person controls their own network of friends.” I gave it a thumbs up for “for innovation and good execution on a simple but viral idea” but questioned why Odeo, a podcasting company, was wasting time on side projects. The comments to that post are pretty entertaining as well. See what my friend Om Malik had to say about them that day as well.
Fast forward to today and you have a startup that survived serious scaling issues and is getting serious mainstream attention. Facebook is obsessed with the young company, as are many others. Happy Birthday, Twttr.
