Is Twitter Worth $3.7 Billion? Not in the Real World
3:30PM 12/17/2010
That's the value a $200 million venture investment led by Kleiner Perkins this week implies. But that means Twitter would have a price-to-sales ratio of 840 compared to Facebook's 26 -- or Google's 8.7. And Twitter's growth may be stalling.
Twitter Co-Founder: Site Has 'a Lot of Money in the Bank'
9:52AM 11/18/2010
Amid rumors that Twitter is considering pursuing another round of venture funding, the microblogging site's co-founder Evan Williams said his company has "a lot of money in the bank," and that its advertising efforts are paying off better than expected.

Taken as a whole, 2009 was a great year for Twitter. The social media site neared 58 million registered users, each revealing life details in 140 characters or less. But the big gains came in the year's first half, leading some to begin to wonder whether Twitter has reached its peak.
Recent news that Twitter may be in the black is probably hasty. After a closer look at Twitter's deals and digging into the numbers, it becomes increasingly unlikely that Twitter has turned the corner. And 2010 could be ugly, too.

Twitter: Time's Person of the Year or yesterday's fad already?
11:00AM 11/16/2009
According to Folio magazine, the Internet microblogging site Twitter is in consideration to be named Time Magazine's Person of the Year (yeah, I think the idea is silly too).
However, the magazine's timing could be poor, as Mashable.com has pointed out that Twitter visitor numbers have plateaued...
The Twitter microblogging revolution is about to get bigger -- or at least get bigger offices. The red-hot start-up just signed a deal to sublease roughly 31,000 square feet near the Yerba Buena Gardens park in Downtown San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Business Times.
