Noah, thanks for putting all this info out there. And congratulations on your success so far.

Question: How did you respond to the leaked Twitter notes in which the Twitter guys talked about "blessing" another Twitter photosharing application instead of you? That had to be a low point. I remember when I first read that I clucked my tongue in sympathy for you. Do you suppose the Twitter guys would rather just work with a known quantity instead of some guy out in SC?

Is "O-off" a subtle dig at OAuth, or an audio transcription typo?
Typo, it's fixed in the Etherpad version
