I find this particularly disturbing: > I made an offer to continue to host posterous.com and all the stuff on it but never received an answer. Has Twitter com

  As someone who spends reasonably large amounts of money on digital media buys, I've found that most companies like Twitter (though actually I have no experience with Twitter, except as a user) certainly are a lot more friendly when you have money to spend. Fun story about Facebook: when I first wanted to start spending decent amounts with them (decent not huge - $10,000s/month) a few months ago I literally could not get in touch with a single person. Even completing contact forms I wasn't hearing back from them. A friend who used to work for an SEO/SM company told me a name of someone to contact, I used LinkedIn's InMail (a paid feature) to message him, and 24 hours later I had 3 account managers (including a technical expert, a media strategist and an overall account manager), who answer calls to their mobiles at any time of day. Now I have a nice route to get answers on any topic, not just paid advertising, thanks to my spending. (Was actually shocked about how hard it was initially to make contact and give them money, too.)
