		<description><![CDATA[Is this for real? Twitter Premium? As many of you know, siliconANGLE went through a bit of growing pains earlier in the week. It should be returning in the next few hours, but wanted to put the twitter premium information out here. The details of the accounts are as follows: * Sparrow ($5/month) – Users get 145 character limit, 5 extra random followers. * Dove ($15/month) – Users get 160 character limit, 25 extra random followers, 1 random celebrity follower, auto-spell check, &#8220;Fail Whale&#8221; T-shirt. * Owl ($50/month) – Users get 250 character limit, 100 extra random followers, 2 random celebrity followers, 30 minutes on recommended list, auto-spell check, &#8220;Fail Whale&#8221; hoodie. * Eagle ($250/month) – Users get 500 character limit, 1000 extra random followers, 3 celebrity followers of their choice, 5 hours on recommended list each month, Twitter Concierge for Tweeting while user is asleep or busy (and more), auto-spell check, &#8220;Fail Whale&#8221; tuxedo, custom &#8220;Fail Whale&#8221; page when service is down.

Users in any tier will be able to purchase an EmbellishTwit add-on for $100/year, which directs tweets to a well-educated offshore employee who will embellish tweets.  For example, &#8220;Just had a whole wheat bagel and coffee for breakfast,&#8221; becomes &#8220;Just got in from clubbing all night and Heidi Klum is spreading brie on a baguette just flown in on the Concord for my breakfast.&#8221;

<p>Technically Speaking, I&#8217;m still wondering why there is hardly <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/19/twitterville-falls-for-premium-accounts-hoax/">any coverage</a> of this today/this morning? It is <em>fun</em> to read at the very least!<br />
<em><br />
<strong>One quick twitter note</strong>: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jamievaron">@jamievaron</a> updated her <a href="http://www.twittershouldhireme.com/">blog</a> (slash site, online resume, online projection of job wanting/hunting, etc..) and may actually receive an interview by twitter as well as will be in Fortune magazine. <del datetime="2009-03-19T16:33:22+00:00">Funny thing, she still <strong>won&#8217;t</strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/RexDixon">follow me</a>! </del><strong> UPDATE</strong>: See the <a href="http://www.rexduffdixon.com/2009/03/19/my-endorsement-of-jamie-varon-for-twitter/">next post</a> above this one!</p>
<p>She even <strong>uses</strong> my <a href="http://www.rexduffdixon.com/2009/03/11/jamievaron-twitter-should-hire-me/"><strong>original post</strong></a> about her site/blog on her <a href="http://www.twittershouldhireme.com/press/">press page</a>. haha!</em></p>
<blockquote><p>Now, I just wanted to let you all know that…<br />
I AM GOING TO BE IN<br />
FORTUNE MAGAZINE!</p>
<p>THE Fortune Magazine! I can’t even believe it. I am not sure at this time in what capacity I will be featured, but I will let you all know when I get more information.</p>
<p>ALSO, as if that weren’t enough…<br />
I’M GOING TO THE TWITTER<br />
