And it could disappear in a second.

idk. Big money deals with a single or maybe 2 customers is insanely high risk.

How do we know how much they make from their deals? How do you know it's more than $5m?

How so? I'm guessing they have contracts, and MSFT and GOOG aren't the type to renege on their signed deals.

I just mean that they could both decide to cancel the contracts when not beneficial for them to do so any more.

Say buzz takes off (don't laugh).

I'd just rather have millions of paying customers (advertising) than 2 customers.

Yes, and Twitter could start hosting images. Nothing is safe and eternal.
Most people don't use Twitter.com they use 3rd party clients, so twitters control is limited.
