Twitter Profits in 2009
Microblogging site Twitter has been thrust into profitability after signing two lucrative search deals with Google and Microsoft.
Twitter announced earlier this year that it had signed deals with both Google and Microsoft’s Bing to include tweets in real-time search results.
BusinessWeek, which was bought in October by financial news agency Bloomberg, said Twitter had signed a $US15 million ($16.8 million) data-mining deal with Google and a $US10 million agreement with Microsoft.
