Short term: wants a meeting, and this should probably do the trick. Long term: doesn't want get killed, prefers to partner with Twitter and sustain a lesser profit margin for a longer period of time.

I say a slow clap is in order here, no matter what his true intentions are, only if for being so focused on what he wants from Twitter Inc.

Almost certainly will be nuked before the end of week, perhaps by end of day.

There goes $50/month/customer, for someone with supposedly hundreds of customers. He probably could have gotten at least a couple months more without being shut down and some free publicity on Hacker News afterwards complaining about being shut down, but he traded that for a maybe 1% chance at some kind of introduction.

And, I guess, a HN post in a couple hours complaining about being ingloriously shuttered.

maybe even a couple of years if he keeps it under the radar and don't grow too much.
The chances of him partnering with Twitter are close to nil. This is a very dumb move by his part that will probably lead to a loss of income for the next few years.
I'd guess that he's 100% prepared for this and has weighed the risks.

I'm making a big presumption about his intelligence though.

Short term: probably will get killed.
But why would Twitter want to partner with him?
