"Please someone explain to me how this company makes money? I opened an account, tweeted once and then have not checked it in months. I keep getting emails every now and then saying someone I dont know is following me. what is the point??" Says by knowledgenavigator.
Lets have a closer look..Twitter’s search deals with Google and Microsoft’s Bing brought in $15 million and $10 million respectively, and that Twitter has managed to cut some of the high costs related to text-message functionality. (These costs were so exorbitant that Twitter temporarily had to restrict some international SMS codes.) OK, cool.
Those numbers are decently plausible, and Twitter’s strategic hire of a mobile business-development dude early this year likely had something to do with it. And Ante’s article makes it clear that while sources have told him that Twitter will end2009 on a profitable note, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be profitable next year.
But there’s a difference between being cash-flow positive and being profitable, and it’s also not totally clear as to what Twitter’s other expenses are, or what they will be next year. So friends the answer is that Twitter has become so popular, it has gained bargaining power with telecom companies and has managed to renegotiate so many deals with carriers that the company pays far less for the services.
What’s good news for Twitter is that getting $25 million out of search deals (if that’s indeed true) shows that the company could expand that into a stronger long-term revenue strategy.
Here I suggest you, how yo use twitter so that you will get something worthy from it as I am getting. First don’t use the Twitter website, use one of the really good twitter applications like TweetDeck or Seesmic. Load it up and search on any subject you can think of that interests you and watch the flow of information role in. It’s called "real-time" search and it will give you the information you seek faster than waiting for an article to provide it.
