Your point is obvious: Twitter could very well be the next Google.
But back to the original article, all I have to say is that Google sure has changed a lot since those early days. ;)
- igorgue 17y agoIs there a "next Google", I don't think so
- adrinavarro 17y agoNobody thought so when Google started!
- unalone 17y agoNot a "next Google", but certainly another site that'll be as big as Google. As I've said before, my money is on Facebook. People my age use it like it's the Internet. To them, that's all there is. And they click its ads.
- dcurtis 17y agoFacebook is already there. What makes you think they click ads? I've heard the opposite.
- unalone 17y agoI don't think they click ads, I see friends checking out ads all the time. Particularly music ads. I'd imagine that it's not just a small-time thing, considering they're in the green now, but perhaps that money's coming from something else. Their ads are also a lot better than they were a year ago. They target more effectively, within reason. (My ads are screwy since I list no information about myself, but they used to try and sell me Arrested Development t-shirts and they almost succeeded on multiple occasions.)
- rokhayakebe 17y agoAlmost selling is not selling.
- unalone 17y agoI clicked the ad. I didn't buy the shirts, because last year was the year I grew out of buying t-shirts.
- andreyf 17y agoTwitter could very well be the next Google Even in 1998, Google provided a lot more value to users than Twitter ever will.
- indiejade 17y agoI think the point is to provide value to the investors. In either case, I disagree; Twitter provides all kinds of valuable information to very specific groups of people.
