Welcome to Tuesday's news brew, where we wrap up the world's business news. It's a busy day, from Baklava Bailouts to Twitter Tweets. The markets are selling off, from stocks to commodities, though the general stock market selloff is quite subdued.
Let's start with Twitter, which we covered in an earlier post, but has plenty of opinions around the horn:
- Want to catch up on the latest Twitter "monetization" announcement? Start by reading Jeremiah Owyang's excellent analysis (Web Strategy).
- Twitter has launched Ads -- where better to read about that then Ad Age?
- John Battelle has some thoughts (Searchblog). They're not fully formed though -- he says they are "developing."
- Twitter to roll out advertising (WSJ).
- Mary Meeker is bullish. On Mobile. Big surprise there, eh?
- An Android "iPad killer" is on the way. Will that boost Adobe?
- Greece is trying to lay off the Baklava Bailout by selling more debt (Bloomberg). Isn't funny how the answer to bad debt is always more debt?
- Citigroup took at $15B loss on "liquidity puts," according to Congressional testimony. Sounds like they should have been called "lack of liquidity puts."
- The U.S. trade gap widened more than expected (BusinessWeek).
- Chinese growth may accelerate (BusinessWeek). That's right. They can grow even faster.
- Oil sells off as supplies balloon (Reuters)
- Here's a cool map of U.S. trade sanctions around the globe (VisualEconomics.com)
