From The Future of Twitter Panel featuring Peter Shankman

  • The panel of 4 was asked, “If Twitter was a stock; buy, sell, or hold?”  Everyone on the panel said “buy” except Peter Shankman.  Shankman said he would hold, but a brilliant rebuttal for why one of the panelists would buy is because, “If you took all of the social networking messaging services combined (facebook, myspace, etc), it’s less than 1/10 of 1% of the global SMS messaging industry.  So there is a huge industry to disintermediate.”
  • On a discussion on why Google hasn’t brought out Twitter yet, Peter Shankman replies, “I wonder what they’re (Google) waiting for, there’s something there, there’s something they’re waiting for” – Peter Shankman
