Twitter IPO valued at $11m

I agree with this for the most part. This quote just seemed uninformed, given the discussion: "I wouldn't. I strongly favored Facebook in there IPO but I would not recommend twitter."

I took that as one man's opinion, everyone is free to take it for what it's worth. Ehs 2005 seems to be knowledgeable about the tech industry so I would tend to give his opinion some weight on this particular subject. Of course, I would do my own research if I were interested in the stock.

Ok, going to show my ignorance here. Where do you get those filings? I have a Fidelity account and the information I get there for stocks is excellent, love how easy it is to use. But I haven't had much success researching IPO's (granted I haven't really tried all that hard), maybe some of you Fidelity employees out there could help me out.

Nothing gets posted until the company announces it is participating in the offering, which then you can read the prospectus info. Research > IPOs.
 
Yeah, follow that path then you have to click on the "Prospectus" link. Much less user-friendly than other research just because the prospectus is literally all that's available to the public. And like $ said, there are plenty of IPOs that Fidelity does not partake in, in which case it won't even be posted on the site.

Twitter is a lot more useful than Facebook is for everyday users. Facebook's massive amount of info on people's interests make it very useful for advertising. Twitter is different from Facebook in that regard but still extremely valuable. Moving forward, twitter has pretty much cemented itself as the premier news medium. It has been able to incorporate various old forms of media into it. Insanely valuable.

I just noticed yesterday yappi is expanding his use of Twitter. Found that interesting. Seems like a good move to me. Easy way to generate traffic.

Perhaps. But as compared to a company like Facebook, I don't see how they monetize their traffic to anywhere near the same degree. Ads suck. Everybody knows it. Everybody talks about it and everybody puts up with it to some degree. To me it seems advertising by traditional methods on the way most people access Twitter would have a far higher annoyance factor than on Facebook. How much advertising to push in someone's face is a fine line. As an example, I think that Youtube has gone too far and screwed the usefulness of their site with the ridiculous amount of ads.

Thanks for the info.
 
Officially priced at $26. Much higher than initial estimates. I see a typical IPO pop followed by a reality check.

Going to be an interesting day
 
Enough people don't understand the value of twitter yet so I think it'll definitely come down from here at some point before shooting way past here.

Too many people misunderstood the value of Groupon and Zynga. You're swimming with sharks in this modern dot bomb - mobile version.
