I began to wonder if it might be cost that is keeping it from wide spread adoption. After checking on pricing, $59.95 (as of 9/26/08) is a reasonable cost. The only bad thing I found in reviews was its lack of heuristic scanning.

Heuristic scanning: “A heuristic probe is used to find new, unknown viruses in your systems that have not yet been identified. Only some antiviruses can do this type of probe, the majority are only able to find known viruses.” This doesn’t seem to be the reason either.

Twitter allows groups of people from various sectors such as the media, banking and business to alert each other of the latest updates or discuss predicted market trends.

Because there is a function that allows users to send and receive private messages via Twitter, some parties believe that it could possible used for insider trading. Although supporters such as this cable ties business are quick to point out that this was always possible via email and the real power comes from the ability to alert hundreds of thousands of people publically, which of course can be monitored for underhanded dealings if necessary.
