The Social Protocol For 9/25/09: Whether It's $1 or $1 Billion

It really doesn't matter to me:

There's a lot of talk today about our financing. A few hours ago we closed a significant round of funding with a group of investment firms that we're excited to publicly thank: Insight Venture Partners, T. Rowe Price, Institutional Venture Partners, Spark Capital and Benchmark Capital.

It was important to us that we find investment partners who share our vision for building a company of enduring value. Twitter's journey has just begun and we are committed to building the best product, technology, and company possible. I'm proud of the team we've built so far and I'm confident in the future we'll build together.

What matters is Twitter staying Twitter.

If that means seeing Ad's, then so be, because they have to make money somehow for how everyone uses their platforms by using them nowadays (including myself), so.......so be (and not the drink or South Beach).

And it's much more welcomed news than seeing another social media site get a movie.
