- ceejayoz 13y agoA good portion are likely selling ads and supporting advertisers.
- icedchai 13y agothey're not doing a very good job. i can't remember the last time i clicked on a twitter ad.
- ceejayoz 13y agoThey're doing a pretty good job if they're managing to sell ads no one clicks on. I also don't click on Twitter ads, but I'd guess some folks are.
- wmeredith 13y agoI've never even SEEN a Twitter ad. Maybe it's becuase I exclusively interact with the platform through Tweetbot and Buffer?
- adventured 13y agoIt's an interesting question. By comparison, at the end of 2010 Facebook had about 2,000 +/- employees and $2b in sales for that fiscal year. Twitter is roughly three times overstaffed compared to Facebook.
- mastermojo 13y agoDo you happen to know how the active user base compares between 2010 Facebook and 2013 Twitter?
- ryanmerket 13y agoFacebook had ~820M MAU at the end of Q4'2010. Twitter has ~230M MAU at the end of Q4'2013. Sauce: http://lighthouseinsights.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/facebook-mobile-q213-mau.png http://lighthouseinsights.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/face...
