Twitter accepted some money from Spark Capital and Jeff Bezos. The latter is interested because long ago I wrote that Twitter was far more of an e-commerce play than an ad play… but given the $150B US / $500B global advertising market, everyone and their cousin wants to have an advertising-based business model… which explains why most companies tend to rewrite their business plans of late (in other words: they have no business having an ad model, but I digress).
Anyway, I think this is the first step towards Amazon.com buying Twitter… it just makes more sense to use something like Twitter in a commercial capacity than a communications capacity, which is odd because Twitter now bills itself as a “communications utility”. Whatever floats their boat…
Today, the vanity crowd uses Twitter in the way that they do, in 5 years - if Twitter is around - it will be used as a commercial platform. Mark my words.
