For companies like Twitter, the messy and as-yet-unconsolidated patchwork left by the also-rans (Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL) in the digital space may be bad news valuation-wise, as it creates too many distractions for these lesser candidates, and points so heavily towards a single acquirer.
twitter business Model is "To Be Acquired" , it is so evident that no other model can be used to monetize twitter.
would you pay in-order to use Twitter ? the common answer will be No. this is really interesting to read the hoax about Twitter Primium Account.
no one will pay a dime to use Twitter.
now if Twitter is for sale some day, who will buy?
the acquiror of twitter have to establish a better model to get a ROI (return on investment). they will not do that for free.
so the question is :
how to make money if you purchase Twitter?
the answer is clearly simple, none buy trouble.
why would you buy a service, when you can build an other one based on this service.
the easy way to make money using twitter is to build a (well studied service with a well studied Business Plan rather then "build to sell" ).
A similar game of chicken happened before -- with You Tube. And the valuation was a bargain for Google and didn't exactly make paupers out of the company founders and their investors. If I had to lay down a chip, I'd expect Google to acquire Twitter by the middle of May. We'll see.here is where I disagree with the author of the cited article.
my prediction is that Google will not acquire Twitter for the simple reason that fellow :
Google acquire Jaiku in the past and it was a loosely investment, Google turned Jaiku to an open source, Google initiate GAE aka google app engine and it plan to ad some feature to GAE in the near future such XMPP, and then google will surely open the micro blogging to every one, this is the hidden plan to kill Twitter, not to buy it.
