Twitter Profitable in 2010?

moneyLast year, Twitter went into a revenue sharing partnership with Google and Bing, pushing it to near profitability stage.

It has recently signed a similar partnership with Yahoo and announced its upcoming ad platform. And just in case you have forgotten, it is still developing and testing its paid business accounts.

Surely, Twitter has to be profitable this year as it slowly uncovers more revenue sources.

While I had doubts on Twitter’s business model in its earlier stages, they are all cleared by news of new revenue sources. In fact, I’m impressed by how quickly Twitter earns its revenue. Its partnership with Google, Yahoo and Bing alone should make it profitable.

Flashback

Remember this video by commoncraft? It depicted how Twitter was used in the old school “what are you doing?” way. Today, we’re using Twitter for so many different purposes.

With a steady profit, What’s happening? to Twitter next?
