Twitter is pretty darn cool, especially if you use it to keep friends and collealleagues up to date with what's going on in your world. It cracks me up to hear people ask "how can I monetize this?" If you have something of value to offer it will monetize itself. Nobody truly enjoys being "sold." If nothing you do is of any value, attempts to monetize are just wasted effort.

Wow! Rough attitude there. Less coffee, more Cheerios :) Hopefully new users who find Hacker News from Tech Crunch will be good contributors, but eventually there will (hopefully) be more users, and I'm not sure the source properly indicates the quality of the user referred.
