2009 and monetization of the big sites

After Scorpiono put a post up about selling websites with little or no revenue it made me think, just how long can the likes of Twitter and Facebook hold out before they start making real profits ?

I mean this year is going to be fairly hard for any company, pretty much on daily basis we are hearing of companies going bust, so now more then ever it is vital that the big names of the 2.0 world start making some serious money or at least just enough to repay the VC’s back ;-).

Jokes aside, it will be interesting to watch how Facebook and Twitter do this, business is business and if your not making the dollar, bad things will happen. lol.

Perhaps Facebook will simply squeeze a cpm banner in their header lol or maybe twitter will have a donate paypal button lol.

Who knows !

I recall Facebook having Facebook ads, so I think they monetize.

As far as I read Facebook ads were poor CTR and pretty much a flop !

I think myspace may be doing better with their version.
