via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on February 05, 2008
With the news today that billionaire investor Carl Icahn is getting ready to start blogging, we started to wonder what other billionaires blog. Sadly (or perhaps not to sadly), not many of them blog.

Twitter Enforces ToS, Cares About Users
via Twitter Blog by Biz on May 23, 2008

The accusation is damaging to our reputation and the additional insinuation that we don't care about our users is offensive to us personally.Twitter is 16 employees made up of systems engineers and operators, product designers, and support specialists.

Drudge Retort is doing nothing different than what Digg, TechMeme, Mixx and dozens of other sites do, and frankly the fact that they are...
