			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have noted a couple of times here on this blog about trucks that we have Twitter accounts, and we have <a href="http://truckeo.com/trucks/2009/06/22/twitter-tattoo/">hijacked the Twitter imagery</a> for our own uses. Now Tech Crunch has posted <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/15/twitters-financial-forecast-shows-first-revenue-in-q3-1-billion-users-in-2013/">internal company documents</a> that some person has swindled from inside Twitter itself.</p>
<p>These documents show internal projections of users and also of revenue, and we understand why Twitter might sue. What we don&#8217;t understand is why Twitter has NOT sued us yet, despite Jesse&#8217;s flagrant disregard for their bird imagery (I am sure that they have <a href="http://truckeo.com/trucks/2009/07/07/twitter-to-sue-people-with-twitter-tattoos/">trademarked and copyrighted</a> everything birdlike by now)</p>
<p>Twitter suing Tech Crunch will not have any winners. There will be lots of lawyer fees and in the end they will settle out of court for some undisclosed deal.</p>
<p>If Twitter sued us here at Truckeo, things would be much different. Instantly people would be talking about our site and we would get top level blogs commenting, perhaps CNN (TwitterNN?) would cover us &#8211; the world would beat a path to our door to find out more about the nefarious Truckeo.  We would probably <a href="http://www.truckeo.com/">sell a bunch of stuff</a>.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think it would cost much for us either. Our lawyer isn&#8217;t actually trained or qualified, and we would be happy to use a belt sander on pay-per-view to remove the offensive trademark violating tattoo. Jesse <a href="http://truckeo.com/trucks/2009/07/07/truckeo-here-to-service-your-truc/">doesn&#8217;t do enough</a> for the company as it is, so a little bleeding will be deserved.</p>
<p>So come on Twitter &#8211; sue us already!</p>
