Twitter’s IPO: 5 questions for Washington

Twitter announced its plans to go public, fittingly, in a tweet. But 140 characters didn’t begin to answer the many questions for Silicon Valley, Wall Street or Washington as the microblogging service prepares for its much anticipated IPO. Here are five questions for Washington policymakers as the company moves toward its IPO.

1. Could Twitter’s IPO bomb like Facebook’s?
2. Will Twitter’s IPO validate the JOBS Act?
3. Will Twitter go big on lobbying?
4. Will the company have new privacy problems?
5. Will Twitter spark new financial disclosure methods?
