Howard Lindzon on StockTwits, Twitter IPO

Published March 17, 2009 at 10:06 AM
Howard Lindzon, the provocative and irreverent investor and entrepreneur, talks about his latest venture, StockTwits, his push for Twitter Inc. to go public and even his choice of underwear in this revealing episode of The Deal's Behind the Money online video show.

Lindzon, who is a hedge fund manager and a venture fund manager, is possibly best known as the guy who created the edgy Wallstrip online video show. CBS bought Wallstrip in 2007 for a reported $4 million and then stopped producing it.

Lindzon is clearly disappointed that CBS "never figured out the advertising part of Wallstrip so it wasn't making any money."

"Our hope when we sold Wallstrip to
a major media company was that they'd figure that part out," Lindzon tells The Deal off camera. "It's a shame, that's all."
