When will Twitter start generating revenue?

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - The much-ballyhooed micro blogging service Twitter demonstrated once again it is vulnerable, with a big outage on Thursday, fueling concerns about its need to start generating revenue.

Sell.
If people have to pay to use it they wont.
If I was the owner I would sell and buy myself an island in the Caribean.
And facebook, I would have sell 2 years ago.
And Google, I'd start scalling out à la Bill Gates.

 

Do an IPO and just forget it.

 

Since it is not public, who cares it they generate revenue. If you can't trade on it, it is useless. More of those non-traders posting.

 

revenue for what?

hackers are hackers no matter what your system setup is and whether or not you spend good money for it...

I'd rather have a free service go intermittent on rare occasion than something I paid good money for go down like that...

 

easier making money for twitter than facebook

imo

most twitter users use mobile to update their status, while fb not.

and pay'n by mobile credit is habit for customers..
