    1. @bookofjoe you don't get Wave because they put it inside a crappy UI. Give it time, they will discover the brilliance and expose it.
    2. SuperTweet! Subject: Google Wave (click to show) A Google Wave is an infinitely long surface that you can put stuff on.

      The waves are HUGE today in Half Moon Bay. Check out @Mavericks_Surf for videos and pictures.

      This is why I'm not surfing today. :-) Blog post: Google Wave's infinite strip, the brilliance in it: http://scobleizer.com/2009/... thanks @mseibert
      @PrestonEhrler

      Google Wave is a very unproductive new environment. You will see when you start getting more friends.

      Loved this analysis of Google Wave by @mseibert http://bit.ly/8CW8Yr and the comments crack me up. I don't use Wave much anymore.
    3. http://bestc.am/AqWLX Last light on a great day in Half Moon Bay.
    4. SuperTweet! Subject: Thanksgiving (click to show) This Thanksgiving is especially good for me. I can Twitter while holding two babies and while watching football. :-) Have a good one!

      Iranian-American @maryamie says Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday. Why? Says: "Non commercial. Family and food and friends makes it best"

      @ScottSchablow we've used this recipe three years now and it always comes out awesome. Highly recommended.
    5. @ahmednaguib the best cheap good quality video camera is the Kodak Zi8.
    6. @ahmednaguib I use a Canon 5D MKII camera for most of my videos on http://youtube.com/scobleizer
    7. The turkey recipe we're using today: http://bit.ly/5FmPgC
    8. Weird @thekenyeung shows that the end of the @briansolis interview got cut off. I'll get that up later today.
    9. Thank you @youtube for the producer account. That means I can put long videos up. My YouTube account: http://www.youtube.com/scob...
    10. @mj_santos we have fresh pies from Heidi's coming, oh, I LOVE Thanksgiving! :-)
    11. Happy Thanksgiving, just cleaned my turkey. Already going well, two sleeping babies is a good thing! Hope you have a great day!
    12. In the video is @dianneisnor who sure is passionate about crowd-sourced maps and talks so fast that we were able to fit a ton into 14 mins.
    13. Video demo of @waze driving around Palo Alto: http://www.youtube.com/watc... impressive traffic app.

    What is this page?

    This is a fake Twitter page.

    TechCrunch and Serkan Toto reported about Twitter Japan's plans to start charging followers to view tweets from certain users and explained why this paid subscription model could work in Japan. The day after, TechCrunch said this won't happen.

    We don't know if this would work or not if Twitter implemented it, but since TechCrunch seems to think it might... The mockup to the left follows exactly the functionality described by TechCrunch.

    What do you think?

    Update: some people blogged about this mockup here, here and here.

    Please click the "Next" button below.

    We are not connected or affiliated with Twitter or TechCrunch.

    Explanation:

    To the left you have a page with many regular tweets and 2 SuperTweets. SuperTweets are tweets up to 420 characters. You can pay 1 cent to view each SuperTweet, or you can pay a 30 cents micro-subscription to view all of them.

    How do I test it?

    1) Roll the mouse over one of the yellow "SuperTweets". You will see that its price appears just like in this paid link.

    2) Or roll the mouse over the micro-subscription button near the top of the screen.

    3) When you click a SuperTweet or the micro-subscription button, a Payment Window will appear and let you pay.

    Note: the first time you pay for SuperTweets, you will have to sign in with the payment system you like using.

    Please click here to learn how to do it, in case you haven't signed in already.

    4) Click PAY in the Payment Window, to uncover the SuperTweets.
