Analyst: Google should pay dividend

Not just a dividend, but one worth $60/share.

He actually makes sense. Instead of buying YouTube (bleeding hundreds of millions annually) or Twitter (no revenue), this analyst recommends paying out an annual $60/share dividend. His points make a lot of sense. So much sense, it'll never happen.

Google loves Twitter, Google loves Twitter...

Twitter and Google. A match made in tech nerd heaven? Rumor is the two entities, one a monster and the other a tiny little baby, are close to finalizing a deal.

You Twit!

I didn't have a car until I was 21.

I didn't own a cellphone until 1999.

Twitter? By the time I even have an account, they'll have specialized accounts for corporations. Shouldn't be long from now.

Actually, it's already there.

Part of me thinks the whole Twittie thing is cute and so instantaneous. Very Global Village, as Ira Rohter used to tell us in the 1980s. But do I really want to know where you and you and you are going after the trip to the mall this afternoon? Do I really, really, really need to know that you can't stand strawberry mochi balls and that Coldstone rules?

Then again, I'm supposed to be in the communication business, right? Hmm... if I get an iPhone, twitting (or twittering) follows. I just can't stand the thought of paying $130 a month (unlimited minutes) just to use it. The iPhone, I mean.
