    What are their other sources of revenue ?? I can't see any ads in my twitter profile . I think they can earn more if they could add Google adsense in user accounts .

    It's not in your profile. Do you follow Dell?

    1 million in DELL's revenue is just a minor number.

    We've started to tweet on twitter.

    It does bring in visitors to our website and service.

    1 million in revenue is not much compared to their other earnings

    One million isn't much, but it's definitely a good sign for twitter. They are getting a ton of publicity for this. I wonder if Dell gave twitter and commission for all those sales :p

    The fact is that Twitter is helping Dell to make $1m in revenue for Dell not for themselves :). Not sure how much Twitter get in financial terms in return for that. But for sure that they got a lot of good publicity recently.

    twitter makes me confuse. I don't get any traffic from twitter. if dell can get money from twitter, maybe we can get it too. but it really hard to think about it.

    Any large company or web site can make a profit from any social web site .... I bet they have a lot of friends on MySpace and Facebook to .... and possibly a lot of followers on Youtube .... so what ? I hate it when people say Dell made $1million on Twitter- so anyone can ....

    It's like saying Dell make $3 Billion a year in business and selling computers etc. and so can you.

    it's like saying Britney Spears has sold 500 000 CDs online and so can you .... etc. etc.

    To everyone who doesn't understand why the rest of us use twitter, check out this top stores page.
    http://twitter.alltop.com/
    there are many other great sites and post around, but do a little research ;)
    it's something that shouldn't be overlooked IMO if you are serious about marketing your product or website.

    This revenue not from advertisments. This revenue from selling their products. No doubt chain system of twitter is really great. One click and send to thousands of followers. Really impressive.

    Thats why Shoemoney and John Chow always announcing twitter prizes

    These are all marketing tactics - it's for the mutual benefit of both DELL and Twitter - don't get carried away with the figures
