This screenshot, uploaded to Flickr by Twitter’s Biz Stone, provides a clue to how certain people have become increasingly ‘popular’ on friendfeed.com.
Allen Stern, of centernetworks.com explains why the likes Loic Le Meur, Dave Winer, Robert Scoble and Leo Laporte have so many followers:
Biz Stone was interviewed on The Byrant Park Project morning show a few days ago. The interview covers many Twitter related topics including the idea behind Twitter and its future, the Fail Whale, and the recent/current problems Twitter is facing.
At some point Twitter will have to make money and become profitable and Biz touched on one idea how this may happen with the introduction of ‘commercial accounts’. While Biz would not discuss how many people have joined Twitter he did reveal that the number of member had increased six fold in the last 12 months.
