The Gillmor Gang — Keith Teare, Robert Scoble, Kevin Marks, John Taschek, and Steve Gillmor — huffed and puffed but could not blow Twitter's house down. The social startup is betting we'll still keep tweeting no matter how gated the community becomes, and with Facebook only worth some 40 billion, Jack and Dick may be right. Besides, push notifications make the clients irrelevant anyway.
Three weeks in, @scobleizer has given away his Nexus 7, with @kteare the only holdout. I can't believe how much time I've switched over to the pocket tablet, but soon enough we'll learn Apple's response with iPhone the next. With our director on vacation I'll have to watch the show to catch the rest of the conversation, as I found it impossible to talk and switch at the same time. And thanks, NBC, for pushing The Who out of prime time. Meet the new boss…
