OK - I am CEO and Founder Number 1
Whoever wants to be Number 2 needs to bring 2 users

[quote=“myboyblue, post: 891924, member: 180”]Could we set up a game called “pyramidville”, where your end goal is to build pyramids for the Pharohs in ancient Egypt? You get to hunt down jews to make as your slaves, you can trade different types of jew to other pyramid.com users, for example, you may need a stonessmith, while your friend may need a roller maker, so you send requests for them on the site. If you get bored sending requests, we can simply give you the option to buy jews to do the jobs you need them to do to get your pyramids built.

It can’t fail.[/quote]
It is not actually ancient Egypt. That sort of stuff killed Mel Gibson’s career. We need to tread carefully as a start up. I will be holding a news conference later to distance myself from Pyramid.com and will be launching Pyramid2.com

Some crowd in Cork bought the domain name teamwork.com for €500,000 a few months back.

Let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you’ve been hearing about.

This is too big to fail

the best bits of facebook are all we want so no ads and no games for now
maybe a facility for temporary friends and temporary photos for people just starting out dating or in a situation where they only need a temporary friend

also a section - does anybody need a friend? It is not for me, I am asking for a friend.

No.

Eh I think thats the Runts department. He will be seething

Whats this fascination now of having lads neck a pint and then nominate others to do it?

Just more low brow carry on from the peasantry.

Chain mail shite for grown men

The “#NekNomination” fuckwits have been replaced by the equally preachy “SayNoToNekNomination” brigade.

TWITTER GOT A reality check today as the high-flying messaging company reported modest user growth during a quarter in which it lost $511 million.

Twitter shares skidded more than 13 percent to $57.29 in after-market trades that followed its first quarterly earnings release since its stock market debut last year.

Results

The results showed revenues in the quarter that ended December 31 doubled from a year ago to a better-than-expected $242.6 million.

But, investors seemed unhappy that the average number of monthly users had climbed just 30 percent to 241 million when compared to the same quarter a year earlier.

Twitter released its first earnings report since a wildly successful stock offering, in what is being seen as a critical test for the popular messaging platform.

The loss for the year for Twitter widened to $645 million from $79 million in 2012 even as revenues more than doubled to $664 million for the full year.

Strongest financial quarter to date

Shares in Twitter soared from the offering price last November of $26, and analysts say that to sustain that momentum Twitter must prove it can grow and move toward profitability.

“Twitter finished a great year with our strongest financial quarter to date,” said chief executive Dick Costolo said in the earnings release.

“We are the only platform that is public, real-time, conversational and widely distributed and I’m excited by the number of initiatives we have underway to further build upon the Twitter experience.”

Twitter has fast become engrained in popular culture but must still convince investors of its business model.

Twitter is expected to be able to reach profitability over time by delivering ads in the form of promoted tweets, and from its data analytics.
