Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-10-17 http://goo.gl/fb/s2D4y # Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-10-17 http://goo.gl/fb/YfYPG # The Facebook money machine – $1.5bn this year http://goo.gl/fb/PJaGN # Buddy Media Raises $23 Million For Brand-Focused Facebook Page Management Platform http://pulsene.ws/9yxZ – that's a big move in this market # How large indigenous tech companies help the ecosystem [...] There isn’t as much talk as there used to be about AIM (London’s junior stock market) which is a shame.
