I thought it was interesting. Made it through to the end and pretty much agree with the points you're making. More people should consider the long term effects of building on platforms where they have no control of direction. Everyone knows the sharecropper story, not enough people consider it.

Also, many congratulations on having a wife who sounds like a saint.

I did, it was a great post. You and Paul are an amazing team, and I feel fortunate to know both you guys. Hope I can make it out to SF soon and stop by the office!

What a great post-- thanks for sharing! I've been wanting to write a post like this for a long time... It inspiring that you actually did it.

I skimmed and skipped to the end to see if you were a) buying Twitter or b) being bought by Twitter ;)

But it's great to see people doing more lengthy writeup for those willing to wok their way through them.
