twitter and diffusion

I found about Twitter a couple of weeks ago. I am searching about diffusion of innovation and voilà .

There are already a group of companies  in this space that  are connecting with people in many different ways. Since then I added a lot of people and company to follow: Kodak, Rubbermaid, Dell, Whole Foods, Jet Blue to name a few. I am interested to see how they connect and how the audience will react. 

Let´s say that you are interested in following someone in the marketing area. Don´t know where to start? No problema, you can select from a (huge) Twitters list.

Want to know who are the executives that are already there. Again, a new list. So far, no records of Twitters executives in the media, at least not in the Business Week.

How they will possibly make money? One successful model is Google´s. Amazon is adding an extra sponsored link, such as Google. How Twitter will make money? They can sell the concept, but it looks like they are not interested. One way already in place is to pay to increase your list of followers. It will cost you US$1 per user, for 6 months and that is, according to Chris Anderson ((I follow him in Twitter), the curador of TED (the best)) it is the same price of a 30 sec add on a late-night show.

There are too many links in this post?  I believe that is the spirit: trying to be a twitter myself and connect.
