The Goldman Sachs Tweeter

Someone claiming to be a banker at Goldman has launched a Twitter feed of things he (and others that are submitted to him) hear on the elevator at Goldman. It's been pretty funny so far. The feed is @GSElevator.

At the end he says he doesn't know CEO Lloyd Blankfein but does say he could give the NYT his home and cell if they want it.

 

We're going to see a lot more of this kind of stuff -- see Conde Nast.

And, companies are not going to like it. Better be doing it from your smart phone on the 3G network and not over the company's network.

 

Yeah, I never saw the Conde thing, apparently there have been several accounts similar to it before. And he says in the article he isn't doing it from his phone, he's only using a laptop he paid cash for and is only tweeting from wifi hotspots.

 

If the feed is GSElevator, I hope this is one tweet: "I killed a man with my bare hands after he said, 'Must be taking the local!'"

 

There have been a few good lines, but this has been quite disappointing since I started following it.
