Someday, when you ask your Twitter followers to recommend the most comfortable running shoe or the best digital camera, you might be able to go one step further and buy the product on the Twitter site.
E-commerce, including links to products and turnkey payment mechanisms, is a likely revenue stream for Twitter, said Todd Chaffee, a Twitter board observer and general partner at Institutional Venture Partners, which has invested in Twitter. That gives us one more hint about how Twitter will make money.
Mr. Chaffee said that we can also expect Twitter to offer filters and feeds to sort tweets by whom they are from and what they are about.
NOTE: A social network named Aarvark is already offering these types of features.
