Pretty much all of Twitter's investment money is going straight into the pockets of the cell companies to cover messaging costs. I wonder if money invested in cell company stock will have a better return than money invested in Twitter over the lifetime of Twitter?
I think Twitter is in great position to start a contextual and geolocation advertising from the SMS messages been sent and from the phone numbers been used. Now or later they will need to move to a sustainable business model.
Everybody hates them but everyone wants to use them in their apps.
How about someone actually make an application that is actually capabl of making revenue by its own, meaning the service they offer is something people pay for rather than somewhere down the line someone is supposed to click on some thing that sends them somewhere where they can buy something?
(Not a bash on wave you might be right for twitter and it is a good post, just seems generally most startups just make something which seem to have no chance of ever making money otherways than perhaps on some ads.)

Yet to be defined.
Hopefully not direct text message ads!
