They might become very unpopular selling on our email addresses, not a good business model imo. More likely they will target us in our twitter streams but need to be careful to control the balance. I don't suppose the 4 founders care much about the future having made their money now. Good luck to them I say, clever guys !

maybe they can collect data from which type of people we follow, and which kind of tweet we retweet/reply to send ads to us.

like i got a lot of email ads from who knows financial company. i feel proud of my junk mail filter.

btw, i found AL's email delay cused by his website host. BT are clean, dave.

Yeah Ashraf, twitter a good biz tool, no doubt about that. Facebook a play tool--no interest to me whatsoever.

I just hope they do not ruin it with ads constantly popping up all over the place but I guess they have no other way of monetising it. The earnings potential is undoubtably there for the short term, not so sure about the long term.

here's what I wrote on Twitter shares on October 4th:

Twitter is a more acceptable business tool than Facebook and growing to be more mainstream than Linked in. Twitter stands out from Facebook in its role as a real-time broadcaster as well as deriving 65% of revenues from mobile versus Facebook’s 41%. Twitter needs not worry about mobile penetration or diversifying away from desktop. Although it is not yet showing any profits, Twitter is growing faster than both Facebook and Linkedin, with 2012 revenues nearly doubling and 2014 revenues expected to do the same. Nine months ago, Twitter’s shares were valued at $17 per share with a $10 billion market value. Last month, stock options were priced at $20.62. If the IPO price comes in at $28-29, the market value could easily hit $17-$20 bn. The timing of the IPO risks coinciding with market volatility resulting from the US government shutdown & debt ceiling uncertainty, but the key is to look well beyond that as the stock is worth the wait.
