Twitter Will Make Money With Sponsored Direct Messages

Twitter users should get ready for messages from companies bearing coupons and discounts, says a Twitter investor.

Todd Chaffee, an Institutional Venture Partners VC and Twitter board member, told the New York Times Twitter will make money allow companies to send users coupons and e-commerce links embedded in messages sent as automatic replies to questions like "What treadmill should I buy?,"

He said: “Commerce-based search businesses monetize extremely well, and if someone says, ‘What treadmill should I buy?’ you as the treadmill company want to be there. As people use Twitter to get trusted recommendations from friends and followers on what to buy, e-commerce navigation and payments will certainly play a role in Twitter monetization.”

The perks of marrying Google

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- When it comes to raising capital in the current economic environment, being married to a Google co-founder has its advantages.

Regulatory forms filed Thursday showed the internet search giant recently invested another $2.6 million in biotech firm 23andMe, which was co-founded in 2006 by Anne Wojcicki.

Wojcicki is married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

Google already has a $3.9 million stake in the company, which sells DNA analysis. It made that investment in 2007, shortly after Brin and Wojcicki were married.

"We believed the technology had promise the first time we invested and continue to believe that now," said Jane Penner, a Google spokeswoman.
