I think Facebook is still shrouded in secrecy in terms of money. It seems mad that you *wouldn't* make money off 200 million people who spend their every waking hour on your site, but there again MySpace never managed it either :) Trouble is, no-one's on there to do their shopping. Same goes for Twitter. And without people buying something somewhere along the line, it's hard to make money without selling user's data. And Twitter in particular know fuck all about their users :) I think I've got a friendfeed account and I too have not the slightest fucking clue why or what it's for. Yo!

I think Twitter have a few ways they can monetize it - the ads they display don't work - but I bet they could do some kind of targetted tweets system. Like say message everyone who has used this keyword in their feed in the last 30 days - that would be cool. I'm registered on FriendFeed, but I don't really use it - whats it good for?! I've got my RSS feeds on it, but thats it... I believe Facebook is making money.
