Comments on: Twitter founders: Innovation before business plan

In an interview with AllThingsD, Biz Stone and Evan Williams basically say "be patient"--Twitter's still a small start-up, and even business models take time.

I think they are on track. If they have the funds to keep working on a better product that's the right thing to do before starting to sell whatever they plan to sell.

Twitter's improved a lot since the old whale days (there were a lot of them, now not so often) but I guess there are many more things to do to make it a rock solid service.

A lot of tech companies were saying "innovation before business plan" in 1999. How quickly people forget. (sigh)

Twitter even feels like a site from 1999, a lot of hype but not much substance. People want to say it's more than it seems but it's really not even with third party apps like Tweetdeck.

If they don't get their act together, eventually we'll all move on to something else.

I've already switched from Facebook to Twitter... good riddance to Facebook arrogance...

Why don't the geniuses ask those who use their service what they want? Or is that too "old school", making a product or service that is more than a fad? The money train will stop sooner than anyone thinks, business can be cruel if all you can produce is losses. Profits do not always follow value, the best product or service does not always win. Keep fiddlin' away your time boys, don't forget to keep an eye on the rear view mirror, something's gaining on you....

Here's an innovative idea: Fix the friggin' Fail Whale.

How does the average investor get in on the ground floor with twitter before it becomes a part of another company such as Google? I am no idea what I am talking about but it sees to me that there is a company that is supported financially. Any suggestions.
