Economic Models for Twitter

Live event over Zoom on Sunday at 6 PM NY time

In 1999, Hal Varian and Carl Shapiro published Information Rules, about the economics of content that can be transmitted as bits. Varian later went on to become chief economist at Google.

I summarized their book here. In our live discussion, we can see how these lessons apply to Twitter. Elon does not just have to rely on advertising as a revenue stream. And Twitter users who hate Elon will have a hard time leaving.

The Zoom event will be on Sunday, November 20, at 6 PM NY time.
