Twitter’s New Financial Model

… or to be exact, another way for third parties to turn Twitter into a new revenue stream.

In the case of Mark Cuban, bajiollionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA basketball team, the NBA decided to fine Cuban a cool US$25K thanks to comments made on Twitter after a game; examples here and here.

Maybe Twitter can consider leveraging on this, and charge a referral fee to the NBA for providing the platform on which the offending statement was made?
