You say bubble, other people say sound investment. If Twitter crumbles because they overreach there will be a thousand startups ready to pick up the pieces. S

  My problem is not with Twitter per se; as I said I hope they are successful. My concern is that we don't celebrate companies like this where the guy actually makes money enough; instead we focus on things which are more speculative in nature. Sure, facebook and twitter may turn out to reap huge profits in the future, but valuing them at around 1B before they've made more in profit than this little $5M company has done is the same pattern of ignoring cash to actual value that led to the Great Depression, the dot com bust, and this latest housing bust/financial crisis. How many funded web companies still don't make $1M yearly in profit?
