I don't know anything about twitter and never use it, but honestly if it was an IPO when they first started getting big it would be one thing, but IPO this late in the game, just seems like a money grab b4 the next big thing kills it's popularity.
FB is at $50 right now and their revenue keeps going up.

Twitter... while I do not see its popularity waning, I do see how they will have problems making a ton of money unless they reign in all of the third party apps and start serving up ads within peoples feeds; say every 20 tweets. Twitter.com is an Alexa 11 and a huge chunk of their users don't visit the site.
