Last couple of months have been very interesting as far as new startups, projects and services go.

BoomTown always enjoys trying to come up with monetization ideas for Twitter, especially since the boys over at the hot San Francisco-based microblogging service seem so charmingly uninterested in it. Some of my brainstorms : Charging media pundits a microfee every time they say Twitter; Snuggie-Tweet, a wearable Twitter-branded device and fleece blanket outfit that vibrates every time you get tweeted; a twit-on-twit-off light switch called the Tweeter; and, of course, the Chia-Twit.
