Twitter, the social networking app that has taken the world by storm, is at the forefront of emerging tech news. Almost every day you can see a placement from a news channel or celeb on their latest thoughts and musings via the text-blogging phenomenon. Some companies have even seen an upturn in product advertisement via the service, making a simple app one of the most sought after marketing resources in recent years.
Evan Williams is the founder of Twitter and in the video above, he shares his thoughts on the future of Twitter with Revision 3’s Tekzilla vodcast correspondent Veronica Belmont. @Ev, as he is known on his website, talks about the monetization aspect of twitter and some of the companies, such as Twitpic and Exectwits, that are using the Twitter system to drive revenue higher and higher.
He also talks about future plans of twitter including incorporating image and video sharing as part of the system. It appears that Williams would rather let other companies focus their efforts on working with Twitter to develop the appropriate system for such services on their own, instead of letting Twitter absorb those services as a part of normal functions of the Twitter website.
Its a worthwhile interview to check out if you have a little bit of time. The video embed should seek direct to the appropriate time when Williams is interviewed during the program, but if it doesn't, check it out at about 13 minutes in.
