Microblogging site Twitter has been offered half a million dollars to feature a single banner advert on its pages for just one day.

Microsoft has reached collaboration agreements with Twitter and Facebook to get their members’ public status updates and messages indexed and presented in useful ways on the Bing search engine.

I love this application and couldn’t agree more with what Dan Frakes had to say about it:

Has been VERY quiet on the blog front for a while. Keep feeling inspired then can’t get focussed!!! Have had my parents with me for a few weeks and I am now going to be driving them back to the UK on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am then picking up a ‘new’ second hand car for Spain (if all goes to plan) a couple of meetings on the Tue and Wed and then drive back to Spain, hopefully getting back at some stage on Friday evening.
