Does Twitter make tons of money?  How?  I decided to try it out 
(http://twitter.com/LA2) and I don't pay anything and I don't see 
any advertising.  So how do they make money?  From sending SMS?

Many years ago I heard about there.com, and they seem to be around 
still.  I guess there are at least a dozen (?) similar virtual 
worlds out there.  But all everybody is talking about is Second 
Life.  How can that be?  Superior marketing?
