The New York Times had published a report on 27th
July stating that Apple was currently negotiating a deal with Twitter for hundreds
of millions of dollars. Had the deal gone through, Twitter’s value would have
shot up to 10 billion! Representatives from both sides have maintained silence
over this matter.
Twitter has apparently declared that it will
generate sales of 1 billion US dollars in 2014, despite being smaller in size
as compared to its rivals, Google and Facebook. According to researchers at
EMarketer, Twitter advertising sales, which constitute a major portion of its
revenue, will go up to 540 million in 2014! Marketing campaigns are being
launched in full frenzy so that marketers can draw up huge advertising budgets
for Twitter.
Apple has recently launched Mountain Lion, a
high-tech operating system for Mac-based notebooks and desktops. The Twitter
app has been incorporated in such a way that it makes sharing extremely easy
and convenient for users. Apple has shown decline in sales as per the
predictions of analysts, the only time since 2003, because customers were
waiting to purchase the new model, which will be released later in the year.
