Does anyone else see this as a YC/VC-success but a business-failure? I'd be far more impressed if they grew Posterous into a profitable company. And so this team is moving from one unprofitable company to another. Disappointing :(

There's a pretty good chance Twitter is already profitable[1][2]. If they aren't then it's pretty clear they can do a facebook and turn on the profits when they choose.
