I disagree. Creating a website/webapp is ridiculously cheap IF you do it well. There's no barrier for entry. Anyone in their bedroom could be the next twitter on a shoestring.

Creating a website teaches you a lot, and is a lot of fun.

Yeap twitter doesn't make any profit.

A model worthy of emulation indeed.

Yes twitter doesn't make a profit, but they have a massive userbase to sell to. I think they'll probably work out a business model if they put their mind to it.
