Comments on: What Does Twitter Do With $50 Million? http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/09/16/what-does-twitter-do-with-50-million/ The World of Twitter and Microblogging Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:06:29 -0600 hourly 1 By: simon MOnk http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/09/16/what-does-twitter-do-with-50-million/comment-page-1/#comment-6248 simon MOnk Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:12:08 +0000 http://www.twitterrati.com/?p=1386#comment-6248 I think Twitter will just keep on doing what it's already doing: exploring a valuable path ... although it doesn't quite know what that path is or where it leads. Nothing new with this route not nothing wrong with it!

It just rolls off the tongue. Infrastructure totally. Spam system I don't see as something that needs a real large investment (but it would be nice). Number 2 sounds likely as well, if you were going into the enterprise market would you sell them on Twitter, then tell them to use a bunch of 3rd party unsecure/untrusted services to handle all the rich media interactions and mobile access? Probably not. They would probably want it to all be branded "Twitter". I like "Twitter will hammer Yammer". It just rolls off the tongue.

I'm particularly interested to see another service emerges to compete directly against Twitter, or whether other social media platforms evolve to go head-to-head. Thanks for the insight.

More thoughts here – <a href="http://bit.ly/J0Ep1," target="_blank">http://bit.ly/J0Ep1,</a> but to me this makes sense as a high risk, high reward bet by investors. In terms of what they’ll do with the investment, one can only assume that it will include expansion of the capabilities of their service, improvement of the stability of the platform (which is desperately needed), and implementation of whatever model they’re choosing to drive towards in terms of growing a revenue stream.
