Twitter, which just recently turned down a half billion dollar acquisition offer from Facebook (albeit to be paid mostly with Facebook stock), is dipping back into the venture capital market, we’ve heard from a source with knowledge of the deal. They’ve signed a term sheet with at least one venture fund to raise a new round at a $250 million valuation. We are still gathering information on how much they’re raising and from whom.

I don't blame Twitter for turning down Facebook stock. Facebook is grossly overvalued and their business model needs to be fully worked out before any stock is given away as if it has value. Hopefully the execs at Twitter learned the lessons of the last tech bubble, though Twitter itself has monetization problems.
