The funny thing about World Cup is that it happens every four years. Two for Olympics. World series, Stanley Cup and Super Bowl are every year. The bottom line is that people like twitter once they interact with it for any reason (like any of the above.) Once they are in they find a reason to stay. As more people around the world get mobile devices that can interact with Twitter, more people will start using Twitter (and Google and FB, etc.)

You can always go for some far dated put options... Anything after the next earnings report will work if it's a fluke quarter from the World Cup.

Expected 1 cent per share loss vs 2 cents per share earnings. Not a huge surprise.

I think this jump had everything to do with Noto.
