DOW is going down

At one point, Accenture fell more than 90 percent to a penny. P.& G. plunged to $39.37 from more than $60 within minutes.

The crisis in Greece, high-speed computer program trading, the debate over regulatory reform in Washington, talk of errant trades — all were pointed to as possible catalysts. But most agreed the plunge would not have been as bad had the markets not already been on edge over the debt crisis in Europe.

That was pretty eventful day, sir.

Quick-poll related to the "followers" value

I was interested in how much value does Twitter followers generate, if any at all.  Technically, this means that 10K of followers sounds like a lot and it could be a good number to evaluate.  (According to rather old data (almost one year old), average Twitter user has 126 followers only.  It might go up these days, but I don't think it went up more than twice or thrice.  For example, my @iwhite has less than 400 followers.  So, yeah, 10K is a lot.)


I have run the experiment and know the right answer now. :)  Lets see how close are you.



I'll share my data in a week.  I'll also include the results of this poll, if it would make any sense by that time. :)
