You're in PR right?
I still think the moment twitter try to turn on ads, they're doomed. Monetizing twitter is extremely non-trivial IMHO, especially after providing it completely free for so long.
Also for most people twitter is just the network their 3rd party twitter client is using. Monetizing that is really hard.
- shabda 17y ago> non-trivial IMHO Non trivial != impossible.
- axod 17y agoSure, but given how much they haven't innovated in the last 3 years (Has twitter changed at all)? I'm skeptical...
- shabda 17y ago(@ axod, reply link goes away after a while, so Ill reply here.) Sometimes lack of innovation is also an innovation. The innovation has happened around uses of twitter, apps of twitter, not twitter itself. And think of it this way, FB has way more features than twitter, and yet they had to introduce features which twitter had, and are competing with it.
- axod 17y ago>> " around uses of twitter, apps of twitter, not twitter itself." eg things outside their control that they cannot monetize.
- iamelgringo 17y agoYou're in PR right? Not at all. I'm a founder working on a social news site for financial and business news. I did come to hacking after studying art, and motion graphics for a while. My wife is a video producer so I have a foot in the media world. And, I'm not really worried about Twitter getting monetized. I have no doubt that the crew at Twitter is going to do very, very well.
