Question of the Week: What’s Twitter Worth?

The Twitterverse was humming on Wednesday with a report from Kara Swisher that venture firm Andreessen Horowitz had bought $80 million worth of privately held Twitter’s stock on the secondary market. (No valuation was disclosed.) Then came a report in the Wall Street Journal that Twitter was in “low level” acquisition talks with Facebook and Google. Sourcing “people familiar with the matter,” the Journal reported that Twitter believes it is valued “in the neighborhood of $8 billion to $10 billion.” That is substantially more than the $3.7 billion valuation it commanded less than three months ago, when it raised $200 million from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and existing investors.
