Absolutely. People laughed at the idea of pro bloggers back in the day. (They're still laughing, but anyway...) I'm pretty sure someone will find a way to make a living via Twitter as well.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Possible revenue model: combo of Amazon affiliate links, paid retweets, and paid #followfriday placements. Let's do it!

It would probably look like Alltop.com.

In a post on his Twitter book, O'Reilly said that each page would be a standalone and the reader would provide the implied narrative or context that would tie it all together. Any sort of Twitter-magazine would, I think, need that: some overarching theme or editorial bent to tie it all together.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I do have to ask though - what would the point be? What would a Twitter magazine do that isn't achievable through some other form?

It would be a zen minimalist sort of a magazine, no?

It would look like a longer version of Larry Smith's 6 word memoirs.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Oh, and I love The Awl. And Larry Smith's 6 word memoirs.

I would format it like <em>Quotations From Mao</em> and call it <em>Twitter for Bathrooms</em>. 140 pages every month.

Possible use of <a href="http://12seconds.tv/">12seconds.tv?</a>.

I have been obsessing over this all day. So far, I have come up with very little.

Hm. Okay, a good one?<br /><br />

the problem with most "serious" twitter feeds is that they stick to a headline/link formula -- pushing readers to their "real" site. Figure out how to deliver content that isn't jokes and you're done.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> (I think @hodgman has a paradigm: 1 tweet if that does it, 4 in a row if necessary. Each one needs to be a separate thought, though.)

I'd like to see you do better than Outshine! The project would bore anyone good enough to meet your standard of quality.

Uh, sure, okay. It's great.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Jesus.<br /><br />

mayhap a series of related twitter feeds -- features, opinion, what have you -- all aggregated on one page. oh wait that's dumb.

yah, I'd have to go with this one again: <br /><br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/newyorkist" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/newyorkist</a>. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Best twitter ive ever read. its all words mostly, like the internet. its very magaziney in a "i just love to read it" way. I dont know, its just good and like a magazine like the newyorker, but newyorkist.
