After buying Twitter client Tweetie last year, Twitter has once again bought another client. So why is Twitter buying all these clients when it can easily just create one of their own from scratch? My guess is that Twitter has been monetizing their website for some time (reaching up to $100,000 per sponsored trends and promoted tweets). The only other channel they cannot monetize are the users that use Twitter clients such as TweetDeck. If you have a Twitter account and you're on Globe, this might get your interest. Globe Telecom has a new SMS service called UPD8 for Twitter. What it does is basically allow you to send SMS updates to your Twitter account and receive personal alerts via SMS as well. To register your phone number to your Twitter account, type "TWITREG " and send it to 2370.
