Did Twitter find its business model?
- Transfer
We all managed to get to know Twitter microblogging service for a long time, some even managed to understand why we needed it. But even the latter can hardly imagine how Twitter can make a profit for its creators.
Many noticed the latest service update - the emergence of a friend suggestion system, and if for some it has gone unnoticed, it certainly will not remain so for a long time. This step may be the first attempt to monetize Twitter. Of course, this is just an assumption, but why not bring it to life.
So, it’s precisely the new feature of the " suggested friends"is an excellent platform for trading friends. Why shouldn't a company interested in advertising pay one dollar for each new subscriber of its microblogging? It’s another matter that then these relations will have to be maintained while maintaining the interest of an occasional user.
An additional question is whether the help the money earned in this way would make Twitter profitable. When Evan Williams created Twitter, he didn’t care about that at all - the money from selling Blogger to Google was enough to entertain However, the situation changed with the advent of investors - the expansion of the service required support, and now monetization is a big question, including for users who have fallen in love with the most popular microblogging service on the Internet.
PS The translation is somewhat superficial, but it does not change the essence of the issue.
