What is the business logic driving free web services such as Twitter?

p.stephenwille asked:

With millions already invested in Twitter, and no profit to date, and I don’t know of any existing revenue stream, what is their business logic? Why would venture capital flow toward Twitter, instead of away from it? This question applies to other free web start ups as well. Any insight into the long term strategy or viability of these free web sites is appreciated.

Jason H asked:

I have people who I have blocked in Twitter. They are still showing up on my followers list as blocked. They are still being counted as followers. Is there a way to remove these people from that list for good?
The blocked people have been on my list for at least 2 weeks. I tried reading Twitter’s help page but it’s a joke.
Found the solution elsewhere. Yes, they can be removed. If they don’t come off immediately now, just unblock and reblock them. I finally got 20+ people off my list doing that yesterday. This morning, I blocked them once and they were gone. Twitter must have been working on the site since I noticed it. Glad it’s fixed.

lockergnome asked:

geeks.pirillo.com – http – I’m monitoring one simple keyword that I’m quite attached to – my last name. This isn’t being done by any kind of software you have to install. It’s being done by a web site that allows me to choose keywords to monitor on Twitter. chris.pirillo.com

cheatersneverwin asked:

They have no contacts listed under the contact folder they have been deleted out. Is it possible to hide the contact somewhere else and not show them if they are online or does deleted mean they cannot chat with the previous contacts that have been deleted? Why would the available to chat be lit up if you can only chat with your contacts? They have none. How would I find them available to chat would they be in a special room or area ? Is there a place where I can look and see where they are? Thanks in advance I’m new at this.

EmilyB asked:

Right now, I’m at a young age and am talking to my parent’s about making a Twitter account. They think Twitter is just another way for people to find me (paranoid rents.. gotta love them!) So is there a difference between Facebook and Myspace to Twitter? If there is please let me know and list the differences. Thanks!
