Yeah. Until it runs out of money without a business plan. Then it will stop...rather suddenly.

- pxlpshr 18y agoIf Twitter lacks a business plan, then Briteny Spears is a virgin and she does not have a twitter account. (@britneyspears) With the number of enterprises/companies/marketers/PR/CR/etc. using the service, if Twitter hasn't found a viable business model then it deserves to die. Maybe I'm oversimplifying the task here but from this armchair — it seems to be pretty simple, and a matter of flicking the switch when the time is right. I suppose you could say the same thing about Facebook, but I think they got too caught up in global growth, relied heavily on ad revenue, overextended themselves, and now face the challenge of reaching profitability with a heavy burn (700+ employees) on their back.
- redrobot5050 18y agoThe number of people who communicate using the service when its free != the utility of a commercial service that's charging you to help customers. It never hurts to add "one more" free tool to your promotional toolset. That said, if its $.75/update for @britneyspears, it makes more sense for them to just post info on her facebook "fan" page. Or leak it to TMZ. Again, Customer Service through twitter while free == awesome. Paying for it, when you're already paying for an outsourced Customer Service Center (like Comcast and Time Warner cable do) not so much benefit.
