One of the site's investors details a coupon- or offer-based business model to The New York Times. Then one of Twitter's founders obliquely denies it. Oh, well.

This is as clear as daylight, TWITTER needs to make cash now, not tomorrow, not next year. Whether this gets through or not those guys need to come up with a game plan, those servers need power, and that data center will see growth, like it or not, and Virtualization can only go so far.

Best of luck to twitter, for giving us a view into the news others fail to cover, in the raw.

About The Social

CNET News' Caroline McCarthy is a downtown Manhattanite who believes that, despite popular opinion, the Web can actually help your social life. She's happily addicted to fun social-media tools from Twitter to Yelp to Facebook, sends an inordinate number of text messages, and has a tendency to waste time at the office reading restaurant blogs. Here, she explores all facets of the Web's gregarious side, as well as the unique tech culture in her home city of New York. (Don't call it Silicon Alley.)
