At the same time, I think it's hard to claim that advertising isn't sustainable for non-search engine companies, especially when you consider that it is estimated Facebook will earn $400-500 million in advertising revenue for 2009. However, companies like Twitter are well-suited to focus on your Trend Analysis method of monetization, since they have publicly stated they want to stay away from relying on advertising revenue.
