Twitter To Go Public Thursday Sep 12,2013

The social network announced - on Twitter, naturally - that it had submitted documents ahead of a planned flotation on the stock market

The announcement explained that a form had been submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ahead of a planned initial public offering (IPO).
Last night's tweet read: "We've confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO. This Tweet does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale."

Note
Facebook floated on the US stock market in May 2012 for 104 billion dollar (£66.2 billion)
