Hmm. Process that for a hot second. Think about the technology back then..if someone truly came up with an idea like that for that time period, I really think we would be riding around hover cars like in the Jetsons. LOLOL. I really wonder how social networking would be like right now if the technology was that far advanced to the point where we could truly communicate with each other (vocally) than in person or on the phone, you know? These are some pretty cool videos. We all know the value of social media/networking nowadays, but you have to really credit the start of this in the 1980s when home computers really became accessible. This is all hypothetical, but at the same time interesting. However, if you want to check out my Twitter, Facebook, and Google posts be sure to get some valuable information from them that will help you on your question for your making money mission! Enjoy!

Alwaleed builds 300 million dollar stake in Twitter
What a crazy investment, right? Well, not soo crazy actually considering the fact that Twitter is starting to really cater to advertisers now. The already Saudi Arabian billionaire is looking to up his palate with this seemingly sort of early adopter investment with the potential of future growth. According to Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and his investment company, they are investing a $300 million boost in the hopes of enticing users as well as paying advertisers for promotion purposes.
Alawaleed states that this investment is more of “in promising, high-growth businesses with a global impact.” There’s no doubt that Twitter is an excellent way to market or at the very least get a targeted promotion or trending topic to spread the message even faster. “We believe that social media will fundamentally change the media industry landscape in the coming years. Twitter will capture and monetize this positive trend,” Ahmed Halawani, KHC’s executive director of private equity and international investments said.
With Twitter looking to make 140 million in ad revenue this year and upwards of 200 million in 2012, there’s no wonder how this social stream is well on track to building 1 billion dollars in liquid in the next few years. It’s also why you should get on the ball right now and develop your Twitter base for your business. 5 years of sleeping is a bit too much!!! In fact, you can always build your rapport with Sponsored Tweets as a way to advertise or make money off of your Twitter. It works!!!

Twitter breaks out new design to help promote business pages
As of late, you may have notice a few changes to Twitter. More than likely if you have a newer account, then you’ll definitely have noticed the changes.
Here’s a small excerpt of the Advertising section of Twitter
“Earlier today we announced a new version of Twitter that makes it easier for users to discover what’s happening now. As part of this release, we are introducing enhanced profile pages that help marketers create an even more compelling destination on Twitter for their brands.
Communicating with users isn’t just about what you say. It’s also about how you say it. Now, your profile page does more to help you make an impression with a large header image for displaying your logo, tagline, and any other visuals.
You can also control the message visitors see when they first come to your profile page by promoting a Tweet to the top of your page’s timeline. This Tweet helps you highlight your most engaging and important content and better connect with your target audience. The Promoted Tweet on your profile page will appear auto-expanded so that visitors to your page can instantly see the photo or video content that you link to from your Tweet.
This page and the Promoted Tweet are both free of charge and publicly accessible for the whole world to see. Your profile page is your own – your colors, your logo, and your messaging….”

So far, there are 21 main advertisers that have this complete change in profile, but it seems like as months go by they will slowly convert the full new Twitter profiles. This is supposed to do help brands do better promoting on Twitter, and make things a lot easier. Personally, I think Facebook, Google+, and Twitter are starting to become a lot more synonymous.
However, I do like the fact that your promoted tweet will be at the top of the page at the forefront of your timeline!
