Just in time for the weekend, speculation on what Twitter’s business model begins anew, this time with the charge being lead by financial TV network CNBC. I caught the clip over at Marketing Pilgrim this morning.
Remember when Twitter caused a stir among the development community, when it suggested you may never want to use a third-party app again?
Well, co-founder went CNBC and appeared to reveal just a little information about Twitter’s monetization model. When asked if Twitter was receiving a cut of the ads shown by third-party Twitter apps, Biz said “no” then went on to say:
“We’re going to roll out something we think appropriate not just for Twitter users but also for the ecosystem when we develop this monetization platform, it’s not going to be just for us, it’s going to extend to all these apps that are out there that everyone is using.”
Now, Silicon Alley Insider took this to mean that Twitter would create a model devoid of those annoying ads that are inserted into your tweet stream, but I’m not so sure.
If you remember, we did some work coming up with a business model where Twitter could rake in potentially billions a year. So far we haven’t heard back. Game on!
THANK YOU
