Why GM May Be Worth More Than Ford
(BusinessWeek) – It has been barely a year since General Motors emerged from bankruptcy, and already the carmaker may be worth more than crosstown rival and current industry darling Ford Motor (F).

Twitter Enters E-Commerce Space With Sales Offer System, “Earlybird”
(Fast Company) — Twitter, which once had everybody and their dog wondering how it was going to make money, seems to be doing okay at last.

Think of it as one of those big-name pop-up stores you see sometimes, relying on word of mouth to bring in the trade, and trying to make money out of limited term offers on goods or services. It’s pretty similar to how discount product sales sites Gilt Groupe, Groupon, and Woot work. Given that Amazon has just bought up Woot for $110 million, it’s a successful business.
