It is not a media company. Twitter doesn't manufacture the content, they provide the platform. The platform is the technology.

It's a media company. The only difference between them and a newspaper is a short word limit and they don't pay their authors. No one is paying Twitter for technology that they produce or for technological services. They get money from ads and subscriptions - the media business model.
