Tech geeks and stock market buffs jumped on social media to cheer — and poke fun of — news Twitter will go public.
The popular tech firm announced it will soon sell shares of the company on Thursday, noting via Twitter, “We’ve confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO.”
Fans quickly took to Twitter to call out the company for its clever-but-gimmicky announcement.
“Super confidential, guys,” Tweeted @Bensign.
Others pointed out the super-hot firm, which believed to be worth $10 billion, is sure to rake in plenty of ad revenue.
“Your ad here. #twitterIPO,” @cschweitz.
And some folks simply made math jokes.
“Twitter is going public. I’ll buy no more than a 140 shares,” tweeted E! News writer Jeffrey Wisenbaugh , spoofing Twitter’s 140 character rule.
The company made a huge splash on the internet with the announcement, earning more than 9,500 retweets of the announcement.
A spokesman later told The Post the company will price its shares conservatively.
Twitter adds about 135,000 new users a day and has roughly 500 million users.
