Hey Justin, Twitter is Going Public, dude

T. Boone Pickens just stunted on me heavy

Canadian Raper Drake replies to T. Boone Pickens

Raper musician Drake, with over 7 million Twitter followers, tweets: "The first million is the hardest."

T. Boone Pickens, the social plugin guy that he is, replies: "The first billion is a helluva lot harder." Punk. (Ok, so, he didn't actually say "punk" but it sounded like he wanted to).

Drake, with over 7 million more Twitter followers than "T. Booner", shows how quickly he learns, respects and admires the new rules of the financial game and tweets back: "@boonepickens just stunted on me heavy"

So there you have it. Just another example of the economic benefits accruing from NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement): the free flow of goods, services and miscellaneous financial thoughts.

Oprah Winfrey Cooks Neilsen Ratings

On Twitter Sunday night, billionaire TV diva Oprah Winfrey apparently recklessly violated Neilsen's policy against openly lobbying Nielsen box owners to watch a specific TV show or network.

But it was just one of those accidental honest slip-ups.

The TV diva  tweeted to her followers: "Every 1 who can please turn to OWN especially if u have a Neilsen [sic] box."

Later, Oprah Tweeted: "Commercial Grammy people..u can turn to OWN." - only to delete everything later.

Oprah ended the whole fiasco by saying: "I intended no harm and apologize for the reference."
