Twitter files $1 bil IPO

This smells like the Internet bubble of 2000.

Twitters valuations are based on a "per user" model. Only problem is many users are fake.

And since it's whole business model is "sponsored tweets", these won't generate revenue when going out to hordes of fake people.

What was the cause of the lost revenue? And with millions of loss in revenue each year, isnt it quite a risk to hop on the IPO wagon?

This is ridiculous. Monetizing people's comments is the same ridiculousness as FB monetizing people's relationships. That money doesn't belong to either of them

Some good insight there, @gajiniinfo and @sf2k.

If they're losing that money, they had to file IPO (like Amazon did all those early years they're losing money). Otherwise, they'd have to close shop.

papigiulio - there are people who are already assured of making millions from the IPO sale, me and you aren't one of them.

I cant believe the BS that passes as viable businesses these days, twitter looks like a pile of horse dung LOL!

If "companies" like this are the future I am glad I likely well past half my lifespan to have to witness much more of this garbage!

The internet & digital everything instead of make things better is making life a never ending digital nightmare!

This is ridiculous. Monetizing people's comments is the same ridiculousness as FB monetizing people's relationships.

Why is it ridiculous? There is certainly a correlation between them.

That money doesn't belong to either of them

Agree but people tend to give away too much and there are plenty of people happy to use your words to make money. Do you also think that even this forum doesn't make money out of our comments in some form or another?

The US stock market is a great place to lose money. It crashes every 7 years like clockwork.
