Paid Twitter Accounts On The Way?
At first, paid Twitter accounts used to be just a hoax / scam, but Twitter co-founder, Biz Stone, has mentioned that they are looking to launch their own "fee-based services this year." Like Last.fm, Twitter has come into realization that they aren't making as much money as they expect / want to. There are many services that are selling their 'tweets' or ads right now. "German start-up Magpie & Friends has started paying users for the right to sell ads in their tweets." Mashable's Chief Executive, Pete Cashmore, has even mentioned that "it's kind of ironic that we're monetizing Twitter before Twitter." Twitter's popularity is skyrocketing and fee-based accounts do make sense. I'm just wondering what advantages a paid account will have over a free account. If you want to read a more lengthy article, just click on the link below. I just tried to summarize the article as best as I could.

Sprint WiMAX Becomes Sprint 4G; Coming to 10 New Markets This Year
Baltimore already has Sprint WiMAX, but since it is confusing some consumers they have decided to change the name to Sprint 4G. Sprint 4G is expected to hit 10 new markets by the end of this year, this includes: Atlanta, Honolulu, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Seattle, Portland, Charlotte, and Fort Worth. Next year, Sprint will be expanding this to 4 more markets, including: Boston, Houston, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. America is pretty quick to jump on the 4G train, since some mobile devices that are released don't even have 3G on them. 4G will be included in future handsets of course, but I think they should let Canada catch up. We're feeling lonely here.
