bit.ly's really interesting in that it comes out Betaworks - since it's so closely tied to Twitter, and so many of Betaworks' investments are built on Twitter (Summize, StockTwits, Tweetdeck), they can help push adoption. It's a nice little keiretsu of related companies.
- nir 18y agoYeah, I suppose it would make sense for Twitter to provide URL shortening themselves, and they'd probably buy someone like bit.ly for this - so betting $2m on it makes some sense (as much as anything makes sense in this area).
- joshwprinceton 18y agoyeah, i see the twitter connection - definitely a good tech synergy there, but would it cost them that much to do it in-house?
