it's also possible to use twitter to cross-promote a product to a wide userbase. pushing ads for their other products through twitter would be simple. letting other people do it would also be simple.
even failing that, the success of twitter gives the people who are currently working on it a lot of credit for future products. it's not a revenue-generator immediately, but it builds faith. i think the author's focus is a little too short-term.
