There are plenty of articles that have been published over the last few years that argue the same thing for Facebook, and it's ability to cash in on it's massive member base. Remember, Yahoo projected sometime in 2006 that FB would generate $969M in revenue by 2010. Oh, and they offered Mark Zuckerberg a cool $1B for it, which he turned it down. So in terms of who will be profitable first, a couple other noteworthy Twitter points: 1) Twitter has accomplished something in search that even Google has not -- The ability to search real time content. That is HUGE, especially in terms of news/media. 2) When the price is right, Twitter co-founders will cash in, as they have done in the past. And that's pretty profitable. :) Some good points.
