That's the funny thing about startup valuations; they are not an apples-to-apples comparison to a public market. In fact, a savvy investor may be willing to invest $100M at a $25B valuation knowing full well there will never be a liquidation event worth $25B. It all depends on the deal terms (preferences, ratchets, etc.).
It's entirely rational to invest $XM at $YB valuation when your deal terms stipulate a minimum return of ($XM * 1.25), regardless of valuation.
"we’ll increase the company’s 401(k) match from 50 percent of the first 6 percent that employees defer, to 50 percent of all regular deferrals. With the current IRS regular deferral limit of $18,000, this means employees will have the opportunity for Microsoft to match their contributions up to $9,000 per year."
A 100% match from Microsoft would mean an annual 2015 contribution of $36,000 ($18,000 employee + $18,000 employer match) versus $27,000 maximum ($18,000 employee + $9,000 employer match) from Google. That's a $9000 difference.
EDIT: Looks like the article is incorrect. Correct numbers are 50%, as stated in parent comment.

Robots.txt is just a convention to advise crawlers. I'm confident most sites explicitly state this is against their terms of service.

I built a similar service for a [humorous] weekend project.
Socialize. Network. Further develop your relationship building skills.
The way I see it: I entered college as a smart, but normal guy. I had no special connections or family ties, and I subscribed to the 6 degrees of separation mentality. I'm now 23 and I'd be willing to be I could meet anyone in the world with through 3 degrees of separation.
College was that extra 3 degrees, and it was well worth it.
Not to be a stickler, but I would remove the TM from your sub-header. Or move it to your app's name.
That isn't a slogan you can trademark, so it's kind of out of place.
Since college, with the mass adoption of social networks, I would guess that 95% of all my friends no longer use independent chat services, like AIM.
I see twitter as the next iteration of "Away Messages" - or, what they now call status updates.
Personally, I dislike Twitter for my personal use. I think it is a fascinating way for brands to sell products to unsuspecting consumers, but there is no value as a standalone "Away Message" platform... that would be the job of something like Facebook status updates, since all of my friends are already connected on there.
As for how it grew? It both filled the need for people to continually express themselves and that other really important thing... celebrity endorsements.
Rich and the team are great.
A wonderful set of examples of entrepreneurial thinking.
My bullshit meters just broke. It makes me question the validity of your product.
Out of curiosity, why would you want to move from a host that is providing you just that? I understand price may also be a factor, but that is a rather large jump in resources, which leads me to believe it's overkill.
That makes you a hypocrite too.
