Can you provide any sort of insight into what will make twitter profitable? I'm not asking for numbers or anything, just some idea as to what will make it a long lasting, sustainable business with a real business model? You're original post and this comment are certainly on point in that twitter has traction and it's use is massive and wide spread, but in the end it comes down to who's paying for it? Will twitter move to an optional (freemium) subscription model? Will it admit it's a marketing and advertising dream data set and sell that? I personally don't use twitter and my own bias has always left me not understanding the point (too much noise) but I'm certainly interested in what the plan to become a real business is.
