Twitter co-founder Biz Stone has been reported to have spoken about the the their plans to finally commercialize on the vast user numbers that they have.

Stone said in an interview with the BBC that Twitter is considering two ways to monetize. The first is “licensing and syndication” for which they have already tying up with Google and Bing.

The second is offering commercial accounts which provide “a specific layer of access”, according to Stone.
“People are very curious about exactly how we make our money and we’re going to be entering into that this year,”.

“Twitter will always be free to everyone whether it’s commercial or personal. But you’ll be able to pay for an additional layer of access to learn more about your Twitter account - to get some feedback, to get some analytics so that you can become a better twitterer.”

This weekend was super amazing, first with the long long drive in the country with my friends in NJ & NY and then a visit to B&H Photo Video, in Midtown New York… Dave has been praising about the place from a long time and I am glad he took me there.

And I instantly fell in love B&H Photo & Video, the massive electronics store you can imagine. After a long time, I had the same and even better feeling that I had in Funan digital life mall in Singapore.

B&H Photo & Video is a great example for retail stores, for its functioning & organization.The store is operated by Hasidic Jews. As I entered the store, I thought I will get lost here but no, it was very well organized with information help & customer representatives spread out through out the store, you get all the information & your questions get answered where ever you are!
