He said there was nothing specific on the horizon.

Stone said Twitter will "start making money" in 2010 as it unveils a plan early next year on how it will produce revenue through advertising. He declined to give details but said advertising will be "non-traditional".
"There are no dates when we need to break even. We have plenty of money in the bank," he said.
