Is it obvious that one (public) is more monetizable than the other (private)? Facebook is hugely profitable, but its messages are private...

  Well, Twitter's actually bringing in decent revenue thanks to search deals. There's a general agreement that realtime search of tweets is useful, whether or not it's particularly monetizable. And calling Facebook "hugely profitable" is a stretch.

    Twitter has like 2 strategic 'customers' hasn't it? That seems like a really risky revenue stream to me, if you can even call it that.

      You could argue that Mozilla has one.

        Totally agree. And similarly (especially with the rapid growth of chrome) I think mozilla is pretty vulnerable.
