I'm bullish on Twitter for a few reasons.
I think Twitter has a unique opportunity in advertising. I'd be interested in seeing how many businesses are on Twitter and what percentage of Twitter users follow a business. I'm assuming both of those numbers are fairly high. If so, that means that a large number of users expect to see information about businesses they follow in their feed (and thus are ok with receiving marketing/business information/etc.) That in turn means ads are not viewed by a large percentage of the user base as intrusive. I think psychologically that is very important for an advertising company.
In terms of the rumored market cap, all I have to say is there is no way Twitter is worth only 1/10 of Facebook. I'm not sure what Facebook is worth, but I'm sure the gap between those two companies is much closer than that.
I really like the Twitter platform, and while I know they messed up by restricting their API, I think their leadership generally make good decisions.
