WTF: Twitter valuation up to $10 B

02-09-2011, 06:49 PM

Somebody. Please. Put. Down. The. Crack. Pipe.

Source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...029279426.html

Executives at both Facebook Inc. and Google Inc., among other companies, have held low-level talks with those at Twitter Inc. in recent months to explore the prospect of an acquisition of the messaging service, according to people familiar with the matter. The talks have so far gone nowhere, these people say.

But what's remarkable is the money that people familiar with the matter say frames the discussions with at least some potential suitors: an estimated valuation in the neighborhood of $8 billion to $10 billion.

acquiring users is so difficult that it is easy to understand why twitter is so valuable imo

sf city council is ready to give twitter a ton of tax breaks to stay in town

Seems kind of funny when Facebook is supposedly very profitable (note "supposedly"...I'm not sure they really are even with the ads) and yet for whatever reason, their valuation is a lower ratio to Twitter's than the ratio of their user base to Twitter's, despite Facebook still growing faster afaik.

Granted I hate Facebook and think it's a waste of time whereas I don't think Twitter is THAT bad, but Twitter isn't profitable. I'm keeping my eyes on LinkedIn personally...that's a site with a purpose.

Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads? Hit me up.

I thought FB made like 150 million profit last quarter, 2 billion gross for the year, and is valued at 50 billion.

GFY is a much better place for business (in this Industry) than linkedIn, hell FB has almost everyone - where LinkedIn has hardly anyone. Unless you have a product that crosses over, like a host - it's pointless for our Industry.

Yep. Follow myspace's lead. Sell while the market still thinks it has value.

The mainstream tech industry is on fire right now... anything SaaS, social media, and mobile...

If you have a solid business plan and a good deck you can EASILY get funding. It's like the dot com boom out there again... there's tons of movement and thousands of startups all over the place

Agreed. Social and SaaS is where it is at

Sell Twitter. Buy Dallas Cowboys for $4 Billion and turn it into a $4 Billion dollar team instead of the pigshit it is now.

Er, no shit. LinkedIn isn't really meant for adult business and I'm not in adult except to sell some adult domains, most of which I do here. Meanwhile I've done 5-figures of domain sales through LinkedIn, barely some through Twitter (where I'm actually more active) and zilch through Facebook.

Good cross over product that's for sure... lots of people in that market to hit up.

Is your linkedin profile all setup? Like business verified, etc? I would have had to have my ex staff, current, clients, etc signup to linkedin, just to verify my info, make me look more legit... how did you go about building that up?

Say what you will about Twitter sucking and dated, but it's been a valuable resource for the adult industry.

Honestly, I don't do the whole company thing on there - just have personal profile and network that way. Most of how I've made sales has been through posting in groups though. I had the profile for years but didn't really make much use of it until several months ago, but have made a few contacts who've spent nice money with me.
