Read more...Scoble and Twitter, Behind the Scenes
Today I had a very unique opportunity to in many ways get in the middle of the Twitter Fiasco, the VentureBeat article suggesting that Robert Scoble was the reason for Twitter’s failures, and Robert’s response to it.

Today Twitter announced the creation of an official “twitter” account on Twitter. This update has been a long time coming – other companies are doing it – why hasn’t Twitter all this time?
