On: Twitter to developers: no new Twitter clients

are they really? Rovio might be the exception, but how fat are Zynga and FourSquare right now, compared to their debt?

Uh, what?

Zynga is making $50M per month: http://www.engagedigital.com/2010/05/14/zynga-revenue-estima... (they've raised $500M).

Foursquare is a bit farther from monetizing... Not sure if I'd bet on them but they would be nowhere without the FB/Twitter platforms under their feet. But they've raised ~$20M on a rumored $100M valuation.

That isn't debt. In both cases, the companies sold a small minority stake of ownership for a huge pile of cash into the company coffers.

That post is nearly a year old. I'd be curious to see if anything has changed.

Not debt, but it's still money owed.

"Not debt, but it's still money owed."

False, and inanity.
