The economics of Twitter are that they’ve spent about $15 million [of the $40 million they’ve raised]. They have created already a global brand name. Ben [Horowitz] likes to point out that the Bing ad campaign [by Microsoft] is $300 million of advertising. Would you rather own the Bing brand or the Twitter brand?

I guess something in that statement makes sense to me. But the question on how Twitter can generate revenue is still a big one. $300 mil by M$ still has potential (albeit low) of recuperation. Twitter? Can’t imagine how just yet.
