How Twitter Can Become A New Breed Of Technology Company
Explore Article mocoNews (Mar 18 2010) Mobile Social Networking
Khris Loux is the founder and CEO of Echo, a commenting platform. He tweets at @Khrisloux. With leadership from its founders and a significant infusion of cash from investors, Twitter has created an innovative no-charge service for users and industry-standard APIs for developers. But more recently, access to its data through those APIs has been fairly inconsistent, with particularly opaque procedures for getting at its most coveted dataset, its full stream of Tweets. Twitter has recently begun selling publishers, big and small, access to all its Tweets. Its licensing of the “full firehose,” as it is also known, to Google ... (Read Full Article)

Pandora: These Numbers May Surprise You
Explore Article mocoNews (Mar 18 2010)
For years, Tim Westergren was on the front lines of a difficult royalty battle. But instead of becoming a casualty, Pandora and other internet radio providers managed to forge a workable rate structure - at least one that kept the lights on. But this is still one huge royalty bill, and Pandora is now one of the biggest contributors. Just recently, Westergren disclosed top-line, 2009 revenues of $50 million, but royalty obligations to SoundExchange alone (a cost that does not include publishing) topped $28 million, according to Westergren.

Scary Stephen King text message worth $175 in class action settlement
Explore Article textually.org (Mar 17 2010) SMS
Some 60,000 cell-phone users who had signed up to receive “promotional messages” from Nextones.com in order to get a free ringtone got just such a text message on January 18, 2006 advertising a cell-phone-related Stephen King book. This resulted in a class action that was thrown out on the grounds that plaintiffs had agreed to “terms and conditions” permitting such cell-phone advertising; moreover, the federal law prohibiting the use of an automatic telephone dialing system applied only to systems that dialed numbers randomly or sequentially, and the defendants were operating off of a list of opt-in telephone numbers.
