Twitter is a micro-blogging tool that is relly nifty for doing mini-posts, forwards and other remarks that (are on any subject) and are maybe not worthy of a full blog post. Here’s a summary of my week on Twitter:

Nifty summary here, Bankelele. Reminds me of a couple of comments that I wanted to make but then ... I don't know... (life happened?).
Re Zain's Vuka: They did it again. They got to the middle of the pool and then, curiously, they swam back. Sigh. I think Vuka was really working for them, putting a reasonable dent into Safaricom's subscriber/airtime usage numbers but of course it was costing them a tidy sum and that showed up in the bottomline. Thing is, they had built the momentum. It so doesn't make sense that they pulled the plug on it when they did.
Re Safaricom's Mpesa: 'I'm not entirely sold on the not turning a profit yet' story. I suppose it depends on how/where they're reporting the royalties and whether they should be considered an expense or an export of profit.
Oops, now its clear why I didn't respond. That's way more than 140 both times.
So who's stake is Centum looking at buying? Do you have the annual report to check who owns the 2.6mn shares?
I wonder if matiba (alliance holdings) is selling? Coz kivuli (BOC) would not be selling coz they want a merger... The other could be BC Patel...
Rombo: nice recap, the weakness of twitter is the 140 characters for posts, and 9slighly fewer) for @replies
- shame about Zain if true, but vuka has been pretty expensive
- M-Pesa profits;’ reminds of the great famous case of the Eddie Murphy movie “Coming to America” which made +$300 million (in the 1980’s) and the studio still said it was not profitable. Vodafone royalties sound like Hollywood numbers
Coldtusker: must be Matiba because alliance is the largest shareholder in carbacid with +20%
It's one of those things, innit, Banks? The weakness of Twitter is the 140 character limit. The strength of Twitter is the 140 character limit.
