Twitter is not just for social. Twitter’s biggest value is finding out what’s happening in your world in real time. Co-founder Jack Dorsey describes it “as an information utility”, a personal news service as much as a social network. Twitter messages are 140-character ‘tweets’ sent to groups of followers. With over 100 million active users, Twitter reportedly made about $140 million in revenue last year. Twitter Co-founder Dorsey, said advertisers were proving willing to pay to promote their tweets, accounts and trends. An expected market float could value the company at around $8 billion. – Reuters
