I very strongly doubt that they will be unable to profit. They've just managed to rack up so much funding without doing so that they haven't made it a short time priority yet. If they had no master plan for huge profitability only idiot VCs would continue investing.
- johnrob 17y agoIf anyone has an idea for how they will make money, they are keeping them to themselves. I haven't heard of a single plausible idea.
- cakesy 17y agoThey seem to be getting news very quickly, before anyone else. For example, see recent earthquakes, etc... Other websites want this leading information. Maybe?
- waterlesscloud 17y agoYou know they have considerable income right now, right?
- javery 17y agoTwitter will make money using premium accounts, selling access to the stream, selling their own premium clients, and selling targeted advertising.
- dnsworks 17y agoStill, VCs can waste a lot of money on a bad idea with no real plans of revenue generation. Boo.com & Napster were both great examples who burned around $120m each (Boo's revenue strategy was apparently to spend $120m wooing big names in the fashion industry and throwing parties, whereas Napster's strategy was to spend $120m getting sued for enabling music theft).
