Twitter still isn't profitable, likely they think it'll be more useful as a data gathering tool

They'll need to find a way to increase the user base though, otherwise its data usefulness will decline fast

Or to control the journalists they can't buy. {nm} diamondman56 Sep 26, 12:35

That seems as plausible a reason as any, b/c this makes about zero sense for Disney (now, for Twitter - they'd do this in a heartbeat)... {nm} TwoMisfits Sep 26, 12:51

Disney is huge on data mining. Makes total sense. {nm} Antibody Sep 26, 12:55

It's 1/5 the size of Facebook and now shrinking...and makes no money...this is as bad as AOL Time Warner... {nm} TwoMisfits Sep 26, 13:12
