Twitter has made Dell $1 million ?
Less altruistically, some businesses have discovered that Twitter is an effective way of communicating with consumers. Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) says Twitter has produced $1 million in revenue over the past year and a half through sale alerts. People who sign up to follow Dell on Twitter receive messages when discounted products are available the company’s Home Outlet Store. They can click over to purchase the product or forward the information to others.

Arrington thinks Scoble has gone Twitter Mental :(
In addition to watching all day, he says he spends at least seven hours a day, seven days a week, actually reading and responding directly on those services..
That’s 2,555 hours over the last year.
Which is more than a full time job (2,000 hours/year).
It is more than 106 full 24 hour days interacting with those services in aggregate

Pentagon hires British scientist to help build robot soldiers that 'won't commit war crimes'
The US Army and Navy have both hired experts in the ethics of building machines to prevent the creation of an amoral Terminator-style killing machine that murders indiscriminately.
By 2010 the US will have invested $4 billion in a research programme into "autonomous systems", the military jargon for robots, on the basis that they would not succumb to fear or the desire for vengeance that afflicts frontline soldiers.
A British robotics expert has been recruited by the US Navy to advise them on building robots that do not violate the Geneva Conventions.
Colin Allen, a scientific philosopher at Indiana University's has just published a book summarising his views entitled Moral Machines: Teaching Robots Right From Wrong.
He told The Daily Telegraph: "The question they want answered is whether we can build automated weapons that would conform to the laws of war. Can we use ethical theory to help design these machines?"
Pentagon chiefs are concerned by studies of combat stress in Iraq that show high proportions of frontline troops supporting torture and retribution against enemy combatants.

Will the Recession Kill Web 2.0?
So there is a silver lining to even the dark clouds of this recession. Certainly there will be many companies that suffer over the next few quarters, and some that will fail. But Web 2.0 companies with large audiences and the right advertising model will benefit from a flight to quality and a flight to surety. They may exit the recession even stronger than today. However, since many of these companies are not yet profitable, they will only benefit if – and this is a big if – they have enough funding to ride out the storm.

Digg's numbers do not look good. No sign of profits any time soon, even though it has a sweetheart ad deal with microsoft. However it has lots of cash runway to make it to an IPO, if it can keep costs down AND keep growing:

Advergame: Dash of Destruction
The game is a modern retelling of the old "dinosaurs vs. Doritos delivery trucks" fable that we all loved as children. You play from both sides. As the T-Rex, you scamper around and through a city, destroying buildings as you attempt to eat Doritos trucks. At the end of every level, you receive an enhancement, like a metal face that lets you bash through buildings. Eating enough trucks ends the level
