Can Twitter Go Bankrupt?
Twitter celebrated its 5th birthday last friday, showing off a lot of high-powered traffic statistics but still unable to provide a monetization plan i.e. how will they make money?
What happens if Twitter runs out of investor money, in other words, they go bankrupt. A lot of social media consulting advice is directed at being engaged on Twitter, and so millions of users including small businesses are investing time and energy (and rarely efficiently) in the hopes that Twitter energy somehow will translate into a customer or two.
Seems to me that Google+ could easily extend their “Circles” idea to include a Twitterish experience.
