Twitter API : playing with fire

When Google [then Facebook] receives the Hosebird pipe of real-time comprehensive Twitter content...begin Google real-time social media offering.

Diddy

  • Adviser Shares
  • Diddy not so strategic
  • Entertainment Biz Dev
  • Entertainment Advisory Board:
  • It would be hard to explain to him what we would be doing wrong since he think about business differently
  • Diddy values his contribution higher than we do
  • Talk to the Ciroc people
  • Get a group of people rather than concentrate on Diddy
  • Maybe get them to invest which will give us more pull with them when they do things we don't like
  • Distractionary Element
  • Entertainment/Marketing Advisory Board
  • Joslyn: Kevin's friend is coming in on Friday
  • Keep them happy

  • We are this product
  • They want to include microblog results on the main search page, which would be the biggest change to google search in years

There are some good products that come out from this but the ToS will need to be
strengthened and messaged
Why dont we test and experiment the best case scenario (Yahoo) of Hosebird
implementation with a partner and then see how this product will evolve - Yahoo
