Twitter to sell data to Google, Microsoft?

The report, posted by the Wall Street Journal, says that both companies would be given a license to the full spectrum of Tweets, which can then be used in their search engines algorithms.

The financials details are still being worked on, but would either be revenue-sharing models or an upfront payment to Twitter.

Twitter currently makes no money and has no revenue model, but has been financed by venture capitalists who, even recently, valued the company at over $1 billion USD.
