"I sent out a few celebratory tweets but mainly kept the news to myself."

How does that work? Are there private tweets? Like the ones that Anthony Weiner sent out?

"Woohoo, great news, been accepted into an awesome incubator". Or perhaps something more vague.
If you don't have a lot of followers, twitter is private-ish. There's a difference between a founder tweeting something and a posting on the official company blog, for example.
My twitter feed is so private I only have three followers: me, myself, and I. My wife doesn't even follow me. I don't think she even knows I have a twitter account. It's all very hush-hush.

I should send out more private celebratory tweets....

Unless approximately the same number of people read the official company blog. Which shouldn't be far from truth.
