????上周三，美國消費者新聞與財經電視頻道（CNBC）播出了一則宣傳短片《Twitter革命大家談》（#TwitterRevolution），介紹近日即將上映的、由CNBC節目主持人卡爾?坤塔尼雅（@CarlQuintanilla）錄制的關于微博網站Twitter的一部紀錄片。我也在其中短暫出鏡，對Twitter公司的 IPO做出了一番預測。

????部分對話內容是圍繞當前Twitter的估值，主要依據是非公開市場的交易員觀點。我在節目中提到，最近的出售價格顯示Twitter估值已接近100億美元，而美國投資基金GSV Capital (GSVC)最近對其所持Twitter股票的估值也使得Twitter總估值達到了98億美元。此后，我又從一位二級市場消息人士那里得知，有些Twitter股票的易手價格已使得Twitter的總估值接近105億美元。

????當然，這些不一定意味著Twitter的最終市值能達到這么多。任何公司都沒有責任一定要將公開上市的股票定價高于非公開交易。但就在人們等待Twitter首席執行官迪克?考斯特羅扳動IPO發令槍之際，Twitter估值仍然存在很大的猜測和投機空間。（財富中文網）?

????It was #TwitterRevolution at CNBC yesterday, due to the premier of @CarlQuintanilla's documentary on the micro-messaging service. And I was briefly involved in the pre-game, prognosticating about a Twitter IPO.

????Part of the conversation was about Twitter's current value, which is largely in the eye of private market traders. On air I mentioned that recent sales had come in at close to $10 billion, while GSV Capital (GSVC) most recently had marked its Twitter shares at $9.8 billion. Since then, I've also received word from a secondary market source that some Twitter stock had changed hands at around a $10.5 billion valuation.

????None of this, of course, necessarily means anything for Twitter's ultimate market cap. Companies are under no obligation to mark their public price above private trades. But it makes for good speculation as we wait for CEO Dick Costolo to pull the inevitable trigger.
