Just to avoid the problems after the Facebook IPO, they run a test. Hmmmm.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) says a test run of Twitter's share sale was 'a success', as it tries to avoid the debacle surrounding Facebook's flotation on the Nasdaq.
Traders simulated buying and selling shares on the exchange on Saturday, to try to clear up any technical hitches that it may face when shares go public.
