before. Certain users of social networks are acquiring vital
importance thanks to the expertise of these channels. This

THE MARKET FOR NEXT YEARS IS REAL Twitter’s Financial Forecast
Shows First Revenue In Q3, 1
billion users in 2013
TWITTER GROWTH
This internal Twitter financial forecast from February 2009.
Twitter has told us that this was never an official document
and it certainly is no longer accurate. But it gives an
interesting glimpse into the company’s financial targets
nonetheless. The projections go forward to 2013.
The most interesting data point - As of February, Twitter
expected their first revenue to come in Q3 2009 (which is
now). A modest $400,000 was expected, followed by a
more robust $4 million in Q4. The document also shows
Twitter’s projected user growth (25 million by the end of
2009), which it has absolutely blown through already. By the
end of 2010, Twitter expected to be at a $140 million
revenue run rate.
