Hi,

Usually the thinking behind this type of business is that the initial phase of their business is to attract a massive user base by offering their ***?rvice for free.

Once they have a substantial user base, that’s a valuable ***.t that they’ll look to monetize.

In the case of Twitter, they’ve spent the ***?me so ***?r building their brand and increasing the user base so that they can then move over to a monetization model.

Recently there have been suggestions that Twitter will start charging companies for new ***?nctions designed to put them in more effective touch with their ***?stomers.

Here’s what one of the Twitter guys said:

“However, it’s important to note that whatever we come up with, Twitter will remain free to use by everyone—individuals, companies, celebrities, etc. What we’re thinking about is adding value in places where we are already ***?eing traction, not imposing fees on existing ***?rvices. We are still very early in the idea stage and we don’t have anything to share just yet despite a recent surge in speculation. When we do, we’ll be sure to let you know.”

So, it looks like they won’t charge for the existing features, ****? will add others that are monetized ***? they ***?e opportunities.

I use Twitter and make a decent income from it ***? it is, so I’m sure they’re going to be around for a while and make some ****?d money from it. They’ve had $55million in ***?nding so their plans are likely to be big ***? ***?r ***? getting that back and returning a profit.

I must admit that this is just a guess. And with that said I’m also guessing that there could be over 1000 reasons that Twitter approaches the market the way it does with great ****?cess.

Okay, so Twitter makes no money (yeah right) why invest in it.

During a recent error on Twitters part numerous ***?ople lost their accounts including @BodyByChocolate (ME!). Fortunately Twitter quickly realized what had happened and Tweeted their apology along with a clear statement that TweetLater’s auto DM process had nothing to do with the issues we were experiencing.

With TweetLater there is a free and paid version to work with. The paid version is very nice and worth every ***?nny. While I can’t say that Twitter owns TweetLater, is it not possible that there is some type of backend advertising that the founders of Twitter do without us realizing it? Done right, Twitter would stand to make an aweful lot of money.

Or, how about this?

Twitter aligns itself to be a charity which gives back to the community. Do you know how much money charities can make? Then if they have the above ***?ed in too Twitter would be looking very nice while being very free.

I can’t guarantee any of the above are actually true, just ****?d reasons for why they do what they do.
