How will Twitter make money? I have three theories on how Twitter will make money. The first, as we explained as far back as 2007, is to charge brands for using the service. [...]The second is by selling, in some presumably anonymised form, demographic audience data to marketers. [...]
The third is far less explored; using Twitter as an official, integrated back channel for TV.
