And today's daily tech updates Tracy Johnke looks at money going to Twitter."

" Twitter really has something to -- about these days Steve private investors apparently want to know about a hundred million dollars at twenty year old company part of it. Deal that values Twitter at one billion dollars one billion. The New York Times very helpfully put this in context if that Twitter where a publicly traded company would be worth twice as much as domino's. The difference is dominoes makes money Twitter that's not but Twitter does have it's a place where millions of people can broadcast their every move and thought. And that seems to be worth not to twitters investors."

" So 100 million for Twitter and how much for light bulbs John -- not gonna indicates a closer look at a better --"

And I do have the you know just the regular basic lightbulb in your -- of homes or have you switched to that compact fluorescent."

" I tend to I'm you know this is an issue I do follow because I am trying to hold down our electricity bills -- the typical that at home who says."

" Turn -- lights off -- year -- not. Regulated and turned it off."

" Yes that's me at home folks. It depends I think on the rule and how old and how we title fight it. We tend to go with seventy I'm not so sure we have made our way Tuesday. The newfangled lightbulbs yet."

" Well actually Minnie -- and hold off on that because now what is happening is the Energy Department is encouraging. Big light -- makers like Phillips to come up. With -- LED based light bulbs because they say even -- I I united realizes that they say the compact fluorescent even -- as. Energy efficient as they should be. So they're encouraging all these companies in fact there they're running a contest and whoever develops. This energy efficient -- first the get not only millions of dollars in prize money and it's an actual contest with a also. Get millions of dollars worth of a pretty lucrative federal contracts so these companies are taken it seriously and racing to build better light --"

" And interest. I I'm not so sure I think I know sometimes we do go with sixties I know we don't use hundreds that much anymore a billion perform open heart surgery with a couple of those turn around and the thing is when you have an enclosed. Light fixture you're not supposed to use 100. A lot idols the Atlanta chains and that's and actually does for your party's -- that's a that's a fire at it as a."

" Fire hazard out. Well these new like following actually honest and say is of the requirement for these -- new lightbulbs is that these ID based ones is that has to give up the same amount of light. As a sixty watt -- But it can only use ten watts of power. And also with the requirement is by the government is that these labels to burn for 25000. Hours which is 25 times more. And what standard six reliable does -- that I'm Ralph Phillips says it's come up with. What it thinks is potential winner but the one big drawback here. Is that at least right now like with anything is it just development the price of one just one. Of these light faults is a hundred bucks."

" Why now forget that. I mean when I go shopping for lightbulbs. I tend to buy the generic kind you know I have bought Phillips I have RG. But if I can get a generic rightful -- will go for that."

" and that when the compact fluorescent first came out I I looked at the price us. Well yea so what -- that they they were not cheap but apparently there on the land anyway because this. LEV labeled as the wave of the future -- Pakistan hundred bucks per yummy slams I haven't come out and look at lighting. Now I have my -- and Gannett and the way my kids flick polite soft -- I mean I would be out of business and about three days he can't turn out all right -- for the what until -- plan -- all I hate the word out and the ability cabin there are going to be sitting around with candles is.
