What is Your Worthless Tweeting Worth?
Had to pass this one along from Crunch Gear
The gist: “How Much Are You Worth on Twitter” - Crunch Gear has about 53 posts (or at least it seems like that many) per day on Twitter and Facebook. Many wonder if they are on the Twitter payroll. Anyway, this latest entry is about a new site called Twitter Value that measures how much your tweets are worth. Really? Where do I collect a check?
Now people can not only tweet like worthless twits, they can have some fictitious value placed on their worthless tweets! Fantastic! Maybe we should start assigning some sort of debt that worthless tweeters owe us for reading their trash. Any guess who is #1? Of course, it’s our new President. Hey, his tweets may not be worthless but I sort of doubt he’s actually updating us via his Barack Berry. Something tells me its his PR machine. Out of respect for the office of the President, we’ll leave him alone and not bash his tweets.
Anyway, check out TweetValue and see how much you are worth - then come back and tell us if you’d like. For fun, we should check out some annoying tweeters and see how much they are worth - and send them a bill.

After watching this: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/02/02/sports/20090202_superbowl_twitter.html
One must wonder if there is value in twitter. That is to say, can a market conversation be measured? What value is this kind of information to a marketer?

That thing is cool! What really catches my eye is that no one in Montana or the Dakotas are tweeting! True TwitterBashers!!

This begs the question: what is Twitter worth? According to this article, the latest terms sheets place post-money implied value at $250MM. An offer of $500MM in mostly Facebook stock was recently turned down. Wisely so, I’d say, since Facebook is mostly implied value too. Cash talks.

I value Twitter at $0.63.
Seriously, let’s think about this. Google makes money by serving ads. Facebook is starting to make money by serving ads. And in the ‘early days’ of both, early adopters whined and moaned about how ‘their’ sites were now being polluted by ads. Hello. Welcome to business. If they don’t find a way to pay for the products and services, they will cease to exist. You put up with ads so you can continue to enjoy Google, Facebook, etc.
So where do we think that may lead Twitter? Ads? Charging businesses a $ per tweet fee? Rumors are swirling on that one:

Oh, and by the way…
I decided to add to the irony that is TwitterBashers by adding ads from Google on the site. Go ahead, click one! Support paying for the hosting of TwitterBashers.com!
