Hitch hiking on your observation, perhaps Twitter should start by monetizing search. When you search Twitter for tweets about the Japan Tsunami, maybe you do want to see ads for charities or radiation pills? Maybe when you search for Justin Bieber you are interested in concert tickets and music downloads?
- jcampbell1 16y agoThe types of searches you mentioned don't even monetize well on Google. The reason Google search is a profit machine is because people search for stuff like "lowest credit card rates", "refinance mortgage", "best shoes for my wedding". Searches for "Japan Tsunami" and "Justing Beiber" are not revenue generating searches. Twitter's searches are only marginally monetizable.
