I'm genuinely surprised, I didn't believe it would make it this far. I've backed it and I really hope it delivers, it's going to be very interesting to see how this turns out. I feel sceptical (because the value in Twitter is the people, not the platform) but I was also sceptical that this would ever reach $100,000, let alone $500,000, so clearly any assumptions previously made are wrong.

It could be a lot of curiosity that drove it.

Now I can see a problem arising if they take outside investment.

It's had a big upswing the last few days. Don't know what caused it, but maybe Dalton's blog posts fanned the fire.

Gruber also mentioned it, explaining that it hasn't reached the funding goal yet.

The launch of an alpha product definitely helped.

Interesting. So immediately there's a large stake holder that withdraws value disproportional to their value of the network; Whether it's a problem or not would have to be thought through..
