Twitter Expected to Make $144 Milli by 2010

Sensitive Twitter info has been leaked by a website which shows the new Internet craze expected to rack in $144 million by 2010.  TechCrunch, a technology blog, got hold of some very internal sensitive information about Twitter’s goals for the next couple years!

Twitter has a targeted revenue run rate of $140 million by the end of 2010, with the expectation it would record its first revenue — a modest $400,000 — in the third quarter of this year, according to a document TechCrunch published that it said was sent by a hacker.

Dated February, the document was labeled a Financial Forecast and outlined how Twitter expected to take in $4 million in revenue by the fourth quarter and maintain $45 million of cash in the bank.

By the end of 2013, Twitter hoped to sign up 1 billion users, post $1.54 billion in revenue, employ 5,200 people and make $111 million in net earnings, according to TechCrunch.

TechCrunch, which said it negotiated the publication with Twitter itself, added in the report that the document was unofficial and “certainly no longer accurate.”

Twitter was not immediately available to comment on the projections. The document published by TechCrunch did not provide details about how Twitter planned to get the revenue.

    OK.

  2. Back On My Swag

    So sad that you launched Bossip, Lives***** and the Bossip Forums all before twitter and you still won’t reach your goal of making $500 before 2010!

    You should spend more time being creative and less time starting race wars!

    I recommend you a nice milionaire dating site __Rich Flirts.c o m__. Whenever I chat with my friends on this site, I feel really relaxed and happy. They are easygoing and honest. I enjoy staying on the site. Hope you can find more nice rich friends there. Good luck to you.

    Not off of me because I don’t do Twitter…


  8. This exact situation should serve as a lesson to women not to just get pregnant by random men…Not even a marriage can make having a baby a good situation when you’ve picked the wrong guy…I’m a huge fan of NAS and never thought he’d bail on KELIS emotionally nor otherwise (because they seemed soo in tuned with one antother…But like the common girls do…Kelis will regroup and provide a comfortable living for her child…

    Just Sad…(( If this story of true!! ))

    This is obviously a non bossip type story. Its easy to see that the guy who posted this is the guy who directs the tech aspect of bossip.

  10. Black Male

    This is comedy not the Kat Williams crap. Who tries to make money of old stereotypes that does his people no good. Why would the black community still support such an act? From the dave chappelles to the buffoon who makes money hanging out with oprah – sorry i forget his name.

    But who am I kidding as Sun Ra said, ‘black people love lies. The live lies.’

  11. Black Male

    oops posted in wrong post hehe my bad

  12. YorkieLover

    I honestly don’t understand why twitter is popular…I’ll stick with Facebook even though they should stop with all the new sh*t.


  13. I don’t really care. All Twitter does is tell me a bunch of ***** OTHER *****s are doing/thinking through out the day. I got my OWN ***** to think and ponder on…I don’t need a text alert telling me how many sheets of toilet paper Tila Tequila used to wipe her crusted over *****hole.

  14. Lies and Bull*****-aka-The Truth

    Twitter? never touched the site… never will

  15. cruzan trini (hot like fyah in htown)
