I disagree with the statement that Twitter has problems finding a monetization model. What do you think about the following idea: Many people use Twitter to link to apps they like (Apple App Store, Android Store etc) or to products (links to Amazon) etc. Twitter already detects that. If you post a link to an app Twitter automatically shows the icon and screenshots - at least in the web version. All Twitter has to do now is to add their own "affiliate token" to the URL and then they would profit: 2-3% for each and every thing you buy on the App Store and up to 10% for things on Amazon. People do click links on Twitter all the time so their cookie would always be "refreshed". I have an application in the App Store ( http://store-news-app.com/ http://store-news-app.com/ ) that is free and links to the best deals in the Mac/iOS app store. I can tell you: With just a couple of thousands requests / day I make good money from it. Imagine what Twitter could do just by adding a few bytes to every Amazon/App Store URL posted on Twitter...
