How is this possible? how could they have so much expense that it costs 630 million to run this company?

colo servers cannot cost to much to run twitter, its not exactly a heavy duty web app. so where does all the money go that they actually lose 21 cents per share?

It looks to me like the money is squandered somehow.

First study for accountant to understand the balance sheets
Second study the P&L
Third understand difference between OPEX and CAPEX

Fourth and most important: the people who started and work for Twitter serve themselves generously. Other shareholders are not important. It has always been like this. How many employees from Microsoft, Facebook, Google..... became millionnaires from the generosity from their company?

If you start a succesful company tomorrow, who will be the biggest beneficiary from that? And who will try to take as much as he can from the profits? The answer is two times YOU.

do VC limit stock based compensation?

1/3 of revenues going to employee compensation is not unusual. I hope that's actual stock and not stock options callable for much, much more. Hard to tell.

I was brought up on John Wayne movies, so I like the Wild West.

The funny things is, when He came on the scene, he was the only liberal communist cowboy who could tame the Wild West.

Now we remember him as the last free man who lived in the Wild West.

Liberal communist? Dry water? A small giant? That is ridiculous.
 
Here are some fundamental problems I see with Twitter:
  • Even the people that you THINK you want to follow end up not being that interesting at all. They just post stupid comments and other useless ramblings.
  • The other issue is the 140 character limit. It's so short that nobody can post anything of substance except a sentence and a meaningless shortened URL to redirect people to wherever there is real content. So Twitter ends up being a weird middle man that doesn't really add anything to the equation.
  • They can't really sell ads against 140 characters of text, and they know this, so they are trying the pay-to-post route where certain ads appear like real tweets. But most people's feeds are already clogged up with so much useless crap from the people they are following that any promoted posts just get lost in the shuffle.
