Notes on Mixergy interview with TwitPic founder Noah Everett

I may be mistaken but no where in this article does it say that Noah Everett makes $5million a year. It does say "revenue projections: $3-4 million" and "#1 – have a company worth 8 figures by 24, #2 – have a company generating 7 figures/year in revenue by 25"

We know that Twitter makes money off the search deals with Google and Bing, and it's a lot more than $5 million.

<i>revenue took off when they moved from Adsense to other ad promoters</i><p>For those of you struggling with adsense, take note.

All of the financial data is neat, but am I the only one surprised by the line:<p>- Moved to South Carolina because of The Patriot, the warm weather, and the beach<p>The Patriot?! I liked "Braveheart goes to America" as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure I'd up and move to SC because of it. An answer that bizarre deserves a followup.

I wish this site linked back to the original Mixergy videos from the notes, both for ethical and practical reasons.

Twitter makes about $25M yearly from search deals, and has a more sustainable business than TwitPic.<p>When can we kill the meme that twitter and facebook are not making money or are not profitable?

This is my first time seeing MixergyNOTES, and I must say I really enjoy this concise cliffsnotes version of the interview. I was able to take in all the key points within 5 minutes' time.

The guy turned down a minimum of $10,000,000. Is he stupid? (I should add, I would take that deal, because if twitter add in any kind of image service or some other service gets popular...)

<i>Total investment into Twitpic was $5,000</i><p>Does this mean that Noah Everett's total investment <i>as of now </i>is $5000, or that at one point in time (possibly before he"rebuilt the site from the ground up to run on a scalable platform") his total investment was $5000?<p>The past tense on "was" makes it hard to tell which it is; it would be even more interesting of a story if the answer is the former.

in the interview he says around 1.5 mio in 2009<p>a quick look at quantcast shows that US traffic (which is by far the most monetizable) hasn't grown at all since july 09 (though there is a nice bump in intl. traffic) <a href="http://www.quantcast.com/twitpic.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.quantcast.com/twitpic.com</a><p>so i would say 2-3 mio is a more reasonable assumption than 5 mio. which is still fantastic.
