The three companies cited as having 'figured it out' in Q3/2012:

    Amazon     -$274m
    Facebook   -$59m
    Twitter    ?? (private, supposed not profitable)

They make loads of money regardless, but it's interesting to look at.

Amazon is sort of an outlier- they could be profitable if they wanted to be, but they would rather eat the world.

That is some memorable phrasing.

Pretty sure Twitter is profitable, just not saying if officially.
