Can't they charge for things like verified accounts, too big photos, etc.; organise paid talks/forums of very high-profile users and sell gear and pro-grade client software? I don't use Twitter but I guess many organisations, companies and celebs alike wouldn't care to pay for these. They could also start a cheap <handle>@twitter.io mail service.

They'd have to sell a heck of a lot of those to justify their valuation.

  So don't. Just run it as a profitable business.

  Well something is better than nothing.

"Wouldn't care to pay for these" means the same as "wouldn't like to pay for these": it means that they would not be interested in paying for them. I suspect you meant to use a phrase like "wouldn't mind paying for these". I hope this is helpful and doesn't come across as a pedantic correction. =)

  > wouldn't mind Yes that's what I meant. Thanks, it's helpful, "care" is a bit ambiguous indeed, sorry :)
