There’s always been jabs at Twitter for not having a viable business model and the chatter has increased in the current economic climate. In a recent interview Evan Williams, Twitter CEO, said ‘We had planned to focus on revenue in 2010 but that’s no longer the case, so we changed the plan quite a bit… We’ve moved revenue higher on our list of priorities…’.

I believe Twitter, potentially, has an incredible business model.

Sitemap Generator Plug-in

Apparently there is a quasi-standard that Google, Yahoo, Ask.com et. al. have agreed on w/r/t blogs, indexing new content, and the good ol’ fashioned robots.txt file.

A plug-in for WordPress automatically generates a new sitemap, archives the old, and alerts all of the above search engines (plus a few others) all as part of the regular functioning of WordPress. Slick.
