Dell proves that Twitter can be profitable - PC World
Not convinced that you can make money from using Twitter? These numbers from Dell might just change your mind. The computer maker says it has pulled in more than $6.5 million in revenue from its Twitter accounts.
That's only a fraction of the more than $60 billion Dell made in revenue last year, but it proves that the micro-blogging social network can be a moneymaking machine -- even though it has a relatively small user base. Twitter's user base can't compete with that of Facebook, which was at 350 million at the last count, but the 18 million-strong Twitter community is looking like a more lucrative market for companies such as Dell.
