RWW: “Like all good things, it has taken time, but fortunately, the wait shouldn’t be too much longer. Although Dagres pointed out that they are in ‘no rush’ to generate revenue right now, he said it is definitely a project for 2009.”
AdAge: “Of all the ideas now under discussion, the one that seems a no-brainer to Twitter and its backers is the idea of ‘verified’ accounts. That would allow users to pay to reserve a Twitter handle and certify that they are representing a corporation or an individual. … The other idea that seems obvious to Twitter and its backers is offering paying customers real-time data on who is saying what about a brand. … Search could be valuable for Twitter, or whoever ends up owning Twitter. … Google and Yahoo haven’t added Twitter search because they don’t want to make Twitter any more valuable than it already is. But the question is how to turn it into revenue without turning off users in the process.”
