Fred Wilson at AVC leads our day with a post about negative gross margins. Basically, if you are not remotely profitable month-to-month, how do you expect to build a business? Agile Bits has a post explaining why the 1Password data leak is not actually a leak. They worked with the blogger who posted about the issue and have a very good explanation. Twitter announced a flurry of things at their Flight conference, and TechCrunch reports on the new Gnip Insights APIs. Hopefully, the reboot of the developer relationship works this time.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
