????當地時間11月7日本周四，Twitter就會成為一家允許公開市場投資者交易其股票的公司（注：Twitter已于當天上市）。可是，對這家公司的2,300名員工來說，就算是首次公開募股（IPO）也和平常的業務沒什么兩樣。“我覺得你不會在Twitter總部所在地舊金山找到哪怕一個參與這家公司IPO的人，”一位投資者說。“Twitter就沒那種文化。”

????Twitter上市之前的一天，它確定以每股26美元公開募集7,000股，IPO規模達到18.2億美元。根據這個募股價格，它的市值已接近142億美元。這個數字比上周初 Twitter的估值還高。當時，鑒于需求強勁，Twitter上調了發行價區間，公司估值相應增至139億美元。

????當然，這家總部設在舊金山市Tenderloin區Market街的社交網絡公司也不能免俗，也會慶祝。與Twitter關系密切的消息人士透露，上市當天，這家公司清早5點就敞開大門，讓那些希望從辦公室里親眼看到開市敲鐘的員工如愿以償。Twitter公司的這個工作日直到下午5點才結束，因為它計劃讓大家再逗留一小時，還將延長的這段開心時光命名為“茶話時間”（Tea Time）。雖然Twitter不會以公司名義正式舉行盛大的慶典，但曾任Twitter技術平臺主管的賴安?薩維爾預計當晚會讓自己的酒吧Tradition向慶祝Twitter上市的公司員工開放。薩維爾目前是風投公司紅點創投（Redpoint Ventures）的合伙人。

????事實上，這種不事張揚的方式似乎沿襲著Twitter聯合創始人中杰克?多西的經營理念。一些曾在這家公司工作過的人透露，多西一直有個習慣，無論公司取得了什么重大成績，他都會“回去繼續工作”。假如事實證明，Twitter在華爾街的首航坎坷跌宕，受多西感染的這種行事作風也會助公司一臂之力。目前Twitter還沒有實現盈利。2013年前九個月，這家公司的營業收入合計4.22億美元，同期凈虧損1.33億美元。

????換句話說，Twitter公司顯然還有很多工作要做。（財富中文網）

????Twitter (TWTR) may be a publicly traded company as of this Thursday, but for the company's 2,300 employees, it'll be largely business as usual.

????"I don't think you will find any Twitter IPO parties in San Francisco," says one investor. "It's just not that kind of culture."

????On Wednesday, Twitter raised $1.82 billion, pricing 70 million shares at $26 each. At that price, the company has a market capitalization of nearly $14.2 billion -- up from the $13.9 billion estimated earlier this week after the company increased its share-price range based on strong demand.

????But the social network, now headquartered on Market St. in San Francisco's Tenderloin district, won't be completely devoid of celebration. According to a source close to Twitter, the company opened its doors at 5 a.m. so employees who wanted to watch the opening bell from the offices could do so. The business day will continue until 5 p.m., when Twitter plans to host an extended happy hour, dubbed "Tea Time." And while there won't be an official big bash, former Twitter Director of Platform Ryan Sarver, now a Redpoint Ventures partner, is also expected to open his bar Tradition that evening for festive employees.

????Indeed, the understated approach seems to follow the philosophy of co-founder Jack Dorsey, who is said by some former employees to follow a "back-to-work" approach regardless of company milestones. It could also serve Twitter well if the company's Wall Street debut proves a rocky one. And the company is currently unprofitable, reporting a $133 million net loss on $422 million in revenues through the first nine months of 2013.

????In other words? There's clearly much more work to be done.
