CNET News reported today that Twitter closed $15 million in series B funding with an $80 million dollar valuation and yet, has absolutely no business plan and no way of monetizing what they are doing (at least that they have made public).

With engineering issues and no business model in sight, how in the heck did they get the money?

Welcome back 90s! I’ve missed you!
