Today, at Twitter Inc.s first analyst day, the Chief Executive Officer of the company Dick Costolo revealed that 500 million people visit the companys website on a monthly basis without logging in. Mr. Costolo explained that the microblogging service of the U.S.-based company is accessible not only to its subscribers, but also to a large number of people, who check on individual tweets or users profiles every month. This was a step towards defending the policy of the company, which has been recently facing investors and analysts concerns.

In addition, the new Chief Financial Officer of the company, Anthony Noto, explained in a statement, cited by the Financial Times, that Twitter wanted to become one of the “top revenue generating internet companies in the world”. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Costolo also added: “Moving forward, you can expect us to accelerate the pace and breadth of product change.”
