Calacanis' words:
> Now, I would say Twitter’s users are worth 2-5x as much as the average FB users because the product is just much more “upscale.” It draws the more elite, powerful, and intelligent folks (overall).
There's no measurement here. There's no analysis of potential monetization. All we have is a lazy, uneducated argument that a summer analyst at an IB wouldn't get away with.
- x0x0 12y agoYou appear to be (deliberately?) misreading Calacanis' claim, as made particularly clear when he says he doesn't have demographics. So the data he's discussing obviously isn't a google away.

- jasonmcalacanis 12y ago1. I'm not an analyst and everyone knows that -- I'm an angel investor and former journalist. 2. It's not a lazy or uneducated argument -- it's an opinion... that's why it says "I would say..." before the claim. 3. The opinion is based on the face that the FB = "all users" but Twitter = a subset of all users. That subset contains the most powerful politicians, CEOs, technologists, finance, art, celebrities, journalists and writers -- who are addicted to the platform. Those same folks are not spending their time on FB in any major way. Those folks are massively influential, thus my opinion.
