Anything you can do to (a) simplify for the common person and (b) put tweets into a relevant context, especially the context of a live event (meeting, concert, etc.) would be hugely appreciated. With respect to the business model, SWIFT should be in a good position to build relationships with a platform approach during this downturn, and whether or not the conference market comes back strong is almost irrelevant. If it never comes back, the company helps save customers money and drive a little incremental revenue. If it does, the company will capture some of the upside through a sponsorship piece and then have data on the back end that will itself have value. A nice business.
