Twitter reminds me of a kid who was in my 10th grade english class. Never showed up or did the homework, but somehow aced his SATs. He wound up dropping out of school, and eventually blew out all his brain cells huffing freon. True story. Folks at Twitter are doing the exact same thing. They don't monetize in any of a million possible ways they could monetize. If they chose one or two of them, they could legitimately be a billion dollar a year company in gross alone - but they don't. They're content to huff the fumes of P. Diddy, Oprah and Kutcher.
