Here’s a video BoomTown did yesterday at the Twitter Chirp conference, where a lot of noise was made about a lot of things. Like: Twitter has a Google Android app; Twitter has a link shortener; Twitter does more searches than you think, Twitter has 105.8 million registered users and is adding 300,000 a day; Twitter users write 55 million posts a day; Twitter is being archived at the Library of Congress. Also more blah-blah-blah on geolocation, metadata called Annotations and, of course, @anywhere, which is essentially Facebook Connect for Twitter. And–oh, yes–making money. That.
