Excellent interview of Mike Arrington with Evan Williams.

• Twitter (company profile) just bought Summize (company profile) and now redirected it to Twitter Search. I fell in love with Summize and think this is a VERY good move for Twitter. The deal was most stock and some cash. The Summize-CEO left, the rest of the team relocates to San Francisco. Most of the Summize-Staff are Ex-AOL people.
• Twitter recently raised $15M in a Series C.
• Twitter thinks about Premium-Models for commercial use and about monetization of Twitter Search with Contextual Ads (the latter could turn out to be BIG since search can generate very high CPMs)
• I like Evan Williams very much and would love to meet him. His style is cool. Pyra was cool, Twitter is even cooler :-).
• Conclusion: Twitter seems to become BIG

Yesterday I’ve been to Techcrunch Meetup Zurich (see also my Trigami-post). It was an awesome evening on the 15th floor of the Bluewin-Tower and I met a lot of friends.

Congratz to the organizers Wuala, Doodle et al.
