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.

And it could disappear in a second.

idk. Big money deals with a single or maybe 2 customers is insanely high risk.

How do we know how much they make from their deals? How do you know it's more than $5m?

Yeah, they're just selling different levels of access to their data stream. Besides the firehose, they have streams of things like all links and retweets, which require some kind of partnership.

It's about $25 Million a year.

Of course the other factor:

  Twitter: funding $160m, you say rev $25m
  Twitpic: funding $0, rev $5m
So I think twitpic comes out pretty fantastically well.

All of the financial data is neat, but am I the only one surprised by the line:

- Moved to South Carolina because of The Patriot, the warm weather, and the beach

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.
