The only real problem I'm finding it that not all Tweets seem to be getting through.

I imagine that this is similar for Blackberry users as well as users of most of the other "iPhone killers." It's not the soundest business model for Twitter to adopt. But the addition of "related" ads to "relevant" tweets is not beyond the realms of imagination.

I think that their actual business model is going to be around real time search in the future. This offers a world of possibilities and revenue sources. Let's keep watching & tweeting!
