Is Twitter the Mafia?

Consider this quote Twitter business development executive Tony Wang gave to AllThingsD, in regards to the company’s new terms of service, which say the social network wants an un-specified cut of revenues from companies making money off Twitter content:

We’re saying if there’s this thing you’re doing, and you’re selling ads against it, and it’s really big, we want to participate in that.

So, doing well with the Twitter platform means they want a piece of the pie, which certainly sounds mafia-ish, but not unusual.
