"Right now, anything we would do to make money would take our time away from acquiring more users. "
We'll lose money on each unit sold, but make it up on volume!!
What I fail to see, is how twitter won't be replaced by some open source library that does the same thing. Just as you can install blogging software on your own server and use aggregators to aggregate.
But they're the current dotcom darling, so they can do no
wrong.

- cake 18y agoI am surprised that he says he is still focused on having more users. Twitter already has, in my opinion, a quite large (mostly techie) user base, the numerous whales would approve. Figuring out how to make money out of it would be nice for them now, probably with advertisement tweets.
