Can you give more details on how twitter has been so valuable to you?
A dollar is "valuable"?

Which are easy to bypass btw - just turn off data connection while you play it.
Android sounds like a great experience.

Obviously, I was responding to the fact that he had stated that he was helped in immeasurable ways - which I took to mean more than monetarily, so was looking for anecdotes beyond financial value.
Startups make mistakes... I'm pretty surprised that Twitter is responding with "It's a feature, not a bug. This is something you WANT-- trust us!" http://twitter.com/#!/dickc/status/43500398450982912 http://twitter.com/#!/dickc/status/44302983839756288 Bummer.

I'd pay way, way more than that.

- I was offered two technical editor gigs for iPhone development & design books because the main editor of the project found me on Twitter.
- I built a friendship with a fellow UI guy that turned into a business relationship and I'm now speaking at his conference in San Diego this spring.
- Without spending any money on marketing, I got over 4,000 signups to an email list that will announce when my next big project is launching. All I did was tweet about it.
- Again, without spending any money, I tweeted about a Mac twitter app I was working on last year and it up becoming a trending topic, eventually responsible for over 30,000 downloads.
- I've been able to help friends of mine with their projects (newly-released iPhone apps, website redesigns, icon sets available for purchase, etc.) by linking to them on Twitter. I keep track of all my URL statistics and many times a link I tweet will get over 3k clicks. I've had friends make hundreds of dollars (within an hour or so) directly from a link I tweeted which is pretty awesome.
Sorry to go on and on, but by extracting the positive things that have happened to my career since 2006 (when I first got on Twitter) I can say that nearly all happened because of a relationship built from Twitter. Which is pretty nuts.
