Interesting. There are a few people playing in this space, but I wonder, do you see the value in a Twitter-like application within the enterprise?

One thing I learned on Day 1 of The Twitter Conference: Twitter has no plans to adapt its platform for the corporate market. It turns out that the financial promise of secure, business-friendly micro-blogging would only get in the way of the altruistic Twitter's larger goals.

"There's still so much to do on the broader consumer-facing product," Twitter's lead developer, Alex Payne, told me. "The founders are interested in enabling a big, global conversation."

It's hard not to admire sticking to one's ideals, but once the VC funds run out, the lack of a revenue-generation plan is going to force Twitter's hands. Nonetheless, for the time being, Twitter is content to let others do the corporate bidding.
