in Developers Bailing on Twitter on Stay N' Alive
Twitter is too popular and has so many vocal early adopters that they are going to face a huge challenges to meet demand. Like a great hotel or food joint, the pain to remodel gets harder the more popular it is. Someone will nail the features/functions people expect. I hope it's Twitter. If not, I expect to see users migrate where they can get the service they want. Twitter will be a great case study--let's hope it's a positive not negative ending.

Brad, to add to that, imagine if the food vendors to that restaurant could no longer get all their food into the restaurant because of the remodel? Also, what if they had to pick a different route, and go through all kinds of hoops just to get their food into the restaurant? Soon no one would want to supply food to the restaurant, and by the time the restaurant was done remodeling all the customers would have moved elsewhere. That's just one analogy - I'm sure there are many more, but again, the developers are key to the success of Twitter. The developers bring many of the users Twitter currently sees, and when they start bailing, so will the users.

in Larry H. Miller at the vSpring v|100 Lunch on Windley's Technometria
I liked and support the introduction of Larry Miller given by Paul Ahlstrom from vSpring. He commented on the benefits the community enjoys because of Miller (sports franchises, movie theaters, car dealerships, education funding, venture activities) and how important they are to attracting the right talent into the business pool here in Utah.
