The release of Twitter’s S-1 Thursday triggered memories of the Facebook public offering along with many comparisons. While the mainstream media continues to characterize the social network’s debut on the NASDAQ as a catastrophe, savvy investors know the lack of a “pop” in price was great for insiders – the employees and early investors who took a risk on the young startup and helped grow it into the advertising powerhouse it is today.
Hype continues to grow, as it is not yet know when Twitter will officially go public or on which exchange.
