As most of you know (and have told me, which I appreciate), I’m very good at titles. Had I wanted to get as much traffic as possible from a post like that, I would have gone with something like “Twitter Planning Website To Kill Third-Party Developers” or “Twitter Engineer Bitch Slaps Development Community” or “Twitter To Make Its Third-Party Developers Weep Second-Rate Tears.” I could do this all day.

MG is hilarious.

Oh, his post is good too, but the rest of it is far more serious than above.

Bit.ly Pro, the branded short links for professional publishers and brands, is also “on fire,” he says. There was so much demand for the product that bit.ly had to close the beta 72 hours after launch. The startup is going through and provisioning the 5,000 companies who signed up in that period. Current bit.ly Pro beta customers include the New York Times (http://nyti.ms), TechCrunch (http://tcrn.ch), ABC, NBC, CBS, MTV, Fox, PBS, Dow Jones, Foursquare, Pepsi, the Gap, the Olympics, and about 100 of the Fortune 500.

URL Shorteners are invaluable for publishers that push content into social networks and have a good brand. Not shocking to see that so many F500 brands want a short url.

I’m hoping that when your $25 million or $50 million exit comes along I can convince you (if I believe it) that we should swing for the fences and create a larger company. If I really believe it I ought to let you earn now by taking money off of the table. I have already written about this. I believe our incentives need to be aligned at this point in time. You need to have your “feed the family” money so that you want to swing for the fences. You also need to believe that the higher outcome is possible. If I’m not willing to let you take money off of the table and if I’m not willing to put more money into the company to help you achieve your goals then how convinced am I really about the upside?

The Entrepreneur Thesis

Mark Suster laid out a whopper on “The Patzer Problem” thing that’s been going around.

With almost every post he writes, I like Suster more and more.
