Interesting press release. To me it looks like a new parasite searching for hosts, but I'm old and cynical. Perhaps there will be a wonderful symbiotic relationship between this, um, service provider and the BTC community. I'll watch from the sidelines though. Harumph.

I enjoy your skepticism - because there's always some kind of agenda brewing when you're talking about an established organization.

Call me old-fashioned, but I honestly cannot trust a "modern" company that does not have a twitter account.

I'd find it actually refreshing they didn't run head-first into the echo-chamber that is Twitter. But then again, I already have read the studies that show small percentages of actual "signal" in that wonderful social experiment.

Correlation is not causation, and lack of causation does not imply lack of correlation. All reputable companies and organizations have twitter accounts. If a company does not have a twitter account, it is very likely not reputable.
