If they really believe in themselves, they would be a fool to sell right now. A service that is so uniquely branded and with near perfect access to capital and accelerated growth will suffer from a major challenge in the hands of someone as “non-social” as Google (ask @dens), or in such turmoil as Yahoo.

If they sell it means that they don’t believe they can live up to their own story.

Ignore any other “shareholder value” or “1+1=5″ b.s. It really is that simple.
