Big Ern Blogging and Vlogging

Twitter is bursting at the seams  in terms of unique visitors, subscriber growth, buzz, VC financing and valuation.   TechCrunch published reports that Twitter had projections of 1 Billion users by 2013.  The thing that many question, is the revenue model, which Twitter apparently doesn’t have or is not revealing.  

Many Twitter outsiders have speculated about the revenue model.  Only C-level Twitter insiders or an active VC investors know the most likely revenue model.  Fred Wilson, who’s Union Square Ventures VC invested early in Twitter, will be speaking at the #Social Recruiting Summit in NYC and he published a some of his talking points in a blog.  In the comments posted in that blog, Fred writes “twitter can copy indeed’s model there can be free/organic and there can be ways to amplify by paying.”  He was referring to indeed.com’s sponsored links and jobs (similar to the traditional SEM model).  Fred does say “can” and there is a big difference between “can” and “will.”  Time will tell……

I’ll be at #Social Recruiting Summit  and the Pre-Social Recruiting Summit  Tweetup, if any news develops I’ll post a comment here.  I believe there are still a couple spots available if you wish to attend either event….
