Twitter now ranks as the third most trafficked social networking site, behind Facebook and Myspace, and has achieved a certain cultural stature. With that said, FaceBook and Myspace still don't really have a business model either.
American Banker reports than more than a dozen banks have set themselves up on Twitter. Right now it's a hot commodity. Think about it. It's very name, like Google, is now a verb! I have to admit. I don't get it. Sure I "tweet" these blog posts, and have watched in amazement as people start "following," but I still don't get it.
Next thing you know Twitter will be everywhere. I can see it now...
Twitter me This! Is is true that the script for the new Batman Forever movie calls for plans to introduce a new character called "The Twitterer"
Scary! Speaking of which, come next October are kid's going to come to our door and say Trick or Tweet?
Will people then develop a Tweet Tooth?
God I hope not. Nobody asked, but here's my opinion: "If I was the "King Tweety Bird" I'd take $700 million for that business in a "heartbeat"
I heard from a little birdy that's what they were offered. If so, it's not worth it to place a $700 million bet on whether or not this is a passing fad. Banking $700 million is all the rage. Speaking of Facebook, does anybody know their business model? How about myspace? YouTube's business model is apparently to lose 2 million per month.
If you're "bent" on following breaking payments industry news, sign up for our newsletter...or visit often. If you are hell bent on Twitter and want to follow the PIN Payments News Blog (even if it's just for the pictures) click the graphic above right!
Getting back to business models: If you're King Tweety Bird, (a.k.a. Jack Dorsey) either sell it for $700 million...or call HomeATM to discuss your payments idea...which you aptly code-named "Squirrel." It's a good idea. It can make Twitter a ton of cash. So call us...we can help!
But be aware...we had previously code-named that very same idea "patent pending". Let's compare notes!
