2 Comments- Add comment | Back to Blog Written on 02-Sep-2009 by PhailanxFollowing my post only yesterday on the future of RSS, it seems that some of the big boys must have been reading as Google's representative and CEO for Feedburner has become the the COO for Twitter! Former Google exec and the cofounder/CEO of RSS service Feedburner Dick Costolo is Twitter’s new Chief Operating Officer.
Google purchased Feedburner in 2007 for a solid $100 million in what seemed to be the rise of the RSS feed. Since then, there have been a number of technolgies that have overtaken RSS - Micro-blogging and Twitter being one of them. Mike Arrington mentions his thoughts tha Costolo can bring Twitter the stability and infrastructre it needs... time to find out.

Thanks Cristian
Everyone is discussing whether Twitter is just a phase that everyone is going through. (I love your Titanic analogy btw!) I'm speaking at the Twestival in Norwich next week so it will be interesting to see what a room full of businesses think to that question. I will drop a post as soon as I get any feedback from the event.
