Jakarta: Twitter plans to open an office in Indonesia over the coming months as it seeks to boost revenues in the social-media-addicted nation, the company announced Friday. Several market monitors have declared Jakarta as the world’s most active city of tweeters. Twitter does not publicise official user numbers by country or city. “This is of great importance to Twitter because Indonesia loves Twitter and Twitter loves Indonesia,” the company’s president of global revenue and partnerships, Adam Bain, told reporters in Jakarta as he made the announcement. “In fact, when we think about the market overall, Indonesia is one of the biggest countries that are active on Twitter,” Bain said. Like many social networking platforms, Twitter is yet to turn a profit, but the San Francisco-based company’s second-quarter revenues more than doubled on-year to $312 million (Dh1.14 billion).
