Twitter Hires Biz Dev Guy: Biz Model Up Next?

It’s no small secret that Twitter is in need of a business model, and the company has hinted several times in the past few weeks that a goal for 2009 is to present a viable and sustainable business model for the microblogging platform. So a month after posting a job listing saying that it was looking for “someone who knew business,” Twitter has hired Kevin Thau as its director of mobile business development.

That’s biz dev, as in someone that’s going to handle much of the direct interaction the company has with other businesses and individuals, and I’m sure Thau will be using Twitter on this front as well.
