I think that this helps Twitter get to the next level. Why? Because it brings us deep inside Twitter where we see what they are thinking. It humanizes Twitter. It opens up Twitter in a way that Facebook simply won't be able to respond to.

It's still in bad taste. What would he say if his company's internal strategy were leaked and publicly scrutinized by competitors? This is a plus for Twitter because they sound like they have things together, but Arrington and TechCrunch just look petty and opportunistic.
- ServInt
Although just about any news outlet would do the same thing, so it's hard to fault him entirely.
- ServInt
it reads to me like Arrington is leveraging possession of these documents to make twitter say "thank you, sir! may i have another?". i just can't get behind that. Dave Winer points out people are interested and want to know about this. true - myself included - but it will all come to light soon enough. is anyone making book on whether there will be a glass houses moment for TechCrunch?

Twitter may look awesome but I think it makes TechCrunch look awful. When you use the word "stolen" it's like you don't think they were but they were. This is TechCrunch profiting off stolen goods which is illegal when it comes to tangible items. I think they should have turned them over to Twitter with a hey dude I think you might want these back.....

I guess what I'm wondering is why any of it was "secret" to begin with. If they want me to invest in them, this is the kind of thing they should be telling me.

I have to agree with Darren, I don't like the concept that Twitter wants "full license to the content (including commercial use)."

TC is doing Twitter a favor. By controlling what gets out Twitter remains happy, it remains controversial, and Twitter gets more exposure than they could ask for. Otherwise you can bet they will end up on wikileaks somewhere (and they probably will anyway).

- Johni Fisher
Johni, I'm saying this leak is the best thing that could have happened to Twitter. There's no fire, and Tech Crunch is only helping to make it better. What would be worse is it appearing on Wikileaks with no exposure in any way by TechCrunch. Twitter's trying to downplay it right now because they have to or their investors will be all over them. Twitter couldn't ask for better exposure though. Controversy is what makes products.

- Thomas Power
stolen is the key word. not leaked, but stolen. it pisses me off that @arrington is trying to make this whole thing look like he is doing twitter a favor by helping them with their security isuues and so on. the right thing to do would have been to email @ev or whomever and tell them they had been hacked. delete the documents off of his computer and report the story with twitters permission. if it were leaked info, i think @arrington could do whatever he wanted with the info.

another issue is the burning of bridges... did @arrington shoot himself in the foot by doing this? will twitter ever grant him an interview? will twitter ever come to him with breaking news? will twitter investors like kevin rose ever trust arrington? and... after the whole @leolaporte issue where everyone was hating on @arrington and he stated that he feared for his personal safety, is...

How is it that TC will publish "secret" Twitter docs, but not post any docs supporting the last.fm allegations? Inconsistent and sloppy.

I am sure they are not assholes, but their editorial policy is spotty at best, and broken at worst.

The funny thing about Arrington, is when it all gets too much for him he goes on vacation. He is publishing stolen documents and getting slammed for it, but of course its all about him, so he proclaims he is running away to las vegas.

Of course he thinks he is a martyr now for publishing this. He tweeted something like "taking the sword in the back" for the good of the industry. You better believe if it was a blog with less influence than TC, or less power than Arrington there would have been cease and desists and other legal things from TWITTER.

I thought there was some kind of law against stealing and/or publishing internal business documents. Espionage. Maybe Twitter's business model just became suing TechCrunch?
- beersage
they wouldn't dare sue techcrunch, right?

Holy crap, maybe they WOULD sue TechCrunch for "the damage caused" http://blog.twitter.com/2009...

@Mark - Twitter has more "Charisma" in my opinion... meaning more folks would come to Twitter's defense if they sued TechCrunch than consider them 'evil.' They'd probably have to show that the release of the documents has damaged their business.
- beersage
Take a look at that Twitter blog post posted a few hours ago, it seems to suggest they might go after people who publish internal documents

They aren't suing anyone. They engineered this. They're posturing as part of the rouse.

Indeed. If felt a bit like nosing around into someone's secret diary but it does make them look smart, deep thinking and a bit dreamy (which is not necessarily bad.) I am not sure I am ok with TechCrunch publishing it though. And I loved this: “unusually happy place to work in”.
- Ina Ghita
ScottBourne: welcome to our legal system where if there are two conflicting interests things sometimes get warped. There's lots of legal precident here for stolen docs to be sharable publicly because of our First Amendment. Twitter would probably lose a suit, according to the legal analysis I've seen. This is why journalists and lawyers aren't liked, though. No one ever said this business is nice.
- Robert Scoble
Wreaks of publicity stunt to this skeptic...
- Dale
IMO, dealing in stolen good is just that. publishing them doesn't change anything. sure, there are times that some have purposefully stolen documents with the express purpose of publishing them - sometimes to expose crimes, etc. it's still stealing and some go to jail for such actions no matter the motive or outcome. finally publishing stolen Twitter docs doesn't come close to journalistic acts of publishing stolen government docs in an effort to thwart crimes so don't even go there.
- MikeAmundsen
I side with Twitter on the whole thing (mostly since they admitted to being in the wrong), but to an extent, I question the validity and integrity of the documents, since nobody outside of Twitter has seen them (Barring whoever supposedly submitted them to TechCrunch, and the few people who read the related blog posts).
- Tyson Key
Gotta agree with Dale... this seems pretty contrived. And coming off the heels of techcrunch, where real-time media is all the rage, it seems like a planned way to build buzz on the Twit
- Mark Gordon
it is good PR for new hire: great ambitions
- Jadito
The perception from the docs is that they are diligently planning and internalizing their growth. That said going from 25 million users to 1 Billion in just 4 years would be breathtaking -- and far beyond the faster than any communication paradigm ever in the history of the planet.....Is this planned? That seems unlikely. Should they have been posted by TechCrunch -- no.
- Shane Pearson
They will achieve such ambition if they are bought by a bigger one. What is freaking.is if they change their privacy policy like Facebook did.

When I launched www.namechk.com on April 1, I exclusively used Twitter to get the news out. CNET picked it up, Lifehacker, Mashable and many many other blog/news sites. Site traffic has compounded daily and RT's on Twitter were through the roof. In 12 days we had over 2000 bookmarks on delicious and almost a hundred thousand unique visitors from StumbleUpon alone. I don't think Twitter is peaking, I think the crowd is learning how to leverage Twitter properly - its use is maturing, not peaking.
- David Gosse
We're already here. Found it was a good place to chat and find new content.
- Richard A.
David: If twitter continues to fail to address their hiring, scalability, user-notification, and reliability issues, they are peaking. The follower numbers game is killing them. Further, if they don't start having someone AT twitter start to USE twitter, they're going to lose because their competitors are all over it.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Hey Rob! Thanks for the feedback (and your support of namechk). I agree with your analysis about Twitter's scalability issues and that could in fact kill them as you say. But that aside, I think critical user-mass has been achieved and those users are just now figuring out how to leverage Twitter.
- David Gosse
My question would be, what is the next thing and is it already out there?
- Adam Martin
David: Yes you're correct that people are figuring out how to leverage it. But as with anything cool online(or IRL) as soon as the masses figure out its cool, they come in and use up all the cool In just the last couple months I've watched twitter surge in number hungry spammers. hard to cut through all the noise there. But it's doable. :) (and you're welcome!)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I don't think the management at Twitter really cares. They are going to cash out shortly for a billion or more and they just want to keep feeding the celebrity hype machine until that happens and keep from stumbling bad enough that everyone stops hyping.

Sell twitter for a billion? Then that would mean facebook is worth twenty eight trillion dollars.

- coldbrew
Ugh A billion $$ for a hosed up system that's really just a name and a hype machine. Hope it's worth it ;) But You're absolutely correct on that one Robert. They would be fools to hang onto it. I don't think that Twitter has the (human) resources to pull it together long enough to hold out for an IPO.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
coldbrew: you have no idea how much hype Twitter is getting. That translates into BIG dollars. I hear it everytime I turn on the TV and radio.
- Robert Scoble
I can think of a lot of media organizations that would love to get their hands on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
Twitter is only valuable as long as it's stand alone, and as long as the community is involved. Buying that community for a billion would be a waste of money. Buying FB for that would be a smart investment.
- Richard A.
I have no idea? Ok, you are right. Good supporting argument...
- coldbrew
@scobleizer Very true. In fact, associates of mine who DO NOT EVEN OWN A COMPUTER talk/ask me about it. "So, do you Twitter?"
- Aaron Kurtz
coldbrew: just watch and see. Twitter is going to sell for many hundreds of millions of dollars and possibly more than a billion. Even in this economic climate.
- Robert Scoble
Hey Scoble, how long have you been saying that?
- Joel Bennett
Joel: a while. Twitter already turned down somewhere around a quarter billion of Facebook stock.
- Robert Scoble
I also feel that the push marketing (spam) on twitter needs to be addressed. I receive a lot of follow notifications from people who are just looking for a "follow-back", so they can tweet large amounts of URL spam at me. Combine this URL shortening services, that masks the true destination of the link, make this a really unpleasant experience. I am now a lot more careful about who I follow. Twitter feels like it's quickly sliding the direction of MySpace, in terms of signal to noise ratio.
- Michael Roberts
$1B != Hundreds of millions. Your usage of hyperbole is astounding, even for a blogger. I will bet you Twitter will not sell for over $500M in 2009 (if ever).
- coldbrew
Maybe Twitter doesn't want to sell. Maybe they want to compete...
- Joel Bennett
coldbrew: when I say "many hundreds of millions" I'm thinking above 500 million. Wanna bet? Might be fun way to give some money to charity.
- Robert Scoble
Just b/c Twitter turned down an amount does not mean they are worth more. It may have been a stupid decision, though it was at FB's $15B valuation, so getting paid fluff doesn't sound like a good exit either.
- coldbrew
I'd be interested in viewing a charity bet off...
- Patrick Boegel
catrett: I assume he is referring to the likes of the NYT or News Corp.
- coldbrew
I think both Steve and Robert have the situation spot on. Twitter, like Facebook, is now for the masses, not the geeks or influencers, and someone (like NewsCorp did with MySpace) will buy it at the height of its popularity and watch it drop to a lower place in both users and buaa. But the big question to me is still unanswered. Where do the geeks go whten Lady GaGa and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese take over the noise on Twitter?
- Mark Edwards
Mark: we both know the answer to that. You're a geek, right? It's here, Reddit, StackOverflow, and hopefully Building43 in the future. Of course if I have my way Building43 will be built using friendfeed so...
- Robert Scoble
Scoble: At least nobody will ever accuse you of being a pessimist.
- coldbrew
So to what charity and at what amount will all these people agreeing with Scoble (and including Scoble) donate? What is the date by which this must occur. Put your money where you mouth is.
- coldbrew
btw, I don't agree with Steve's point that superficiality rules based in part due to anonymity, any "corporation" or brand being very successful right now has identifiable individuals at the helm, not just an autobot
- Patrick Boegel
everyone ends up on Friendfeed - Twitter on steroids
- Thomas Power
How about if I win you donate $100 to Red Cross? If you win I donate $100 to a charity of your choosing (not your own pocket!). Let's say "Twitter sells by end of the year for more than $500 million (I win). If they don't sell or they sell for less you win.
- Robert Scoble
I'm game for that, but I need a bit more time to select the charity. You must also write a blog post at some point afterward detailing why you are donating to w/e the charity is (my 'handle' should not be included). Deal?

Depends how you define expectations. If I ask a question, I hope for an answer. But I only expect to get an answer roughly 50% of the time.
- Bill Bittner
Agreed. I put questions out there, without any real expectation for an answer. Sometime I get an answer, and that's good. Most of the time there's just silence.

I don't like the silence of it sometimes. Sometimes I really do want to know a least 10 people's opinion.

I know this is an oldie, but curious what you think of services like @lazytweet, @toask, and @qna which provide Q&A on top of twitter. Maybe these will help make clear tweets that are expectant of an answer (disclosure, I built lazytweet).

- Clay Newton
Charlie, here's one sentence. A community manager is someone who communicates with a company's users/customers, development team and executives and other stake holders in order to amplify the work of all parties. Second sentence, just in case you'd like it: They probably provide customer service, highlight best use-cases of a product, make first contact in some potential business partnerships and increase the public visibility of the company they work for. Thanks, by the way Charlie, I've added to post.

My 2 cents: At the very beginning, when the startup consists only of founders you can select CM out of them. If you don't have a person that can pull it (meaning someone with marketing, PR, BDM skills) your startup is going to be in trouble anyway - it means you have just engineers on the team. Another issue: CM is not a PR2.0, it's CRM 2.0 - back in the days CRM was about getting input...

FF can do what it wants, and I think that goes for most sites in their developmental stage. Until advertisers come in and rape the site, or FF figures out a premium service that you can pay for, they have no real obligation to the user. Although, as a friend of the feed, I would feel a lil empty without it, lol.

It would be totally unacceptable to me if was paying for FF. Does any one still use socialthing? They have not added any new services or features in a long time.I have not been back to there site in months since i discovered FF.

This is why I bet on FriendFeed. The team is extremely important. Also, location. Why? Scaling expertise. The guys who started FriendFeed started Gmail and Google Maps.

FriendFeed makes me feel more and more confident I made the right choice every day.
