When they're dissatisfied, people hear. IMO those are the ones Twitter should be going out of their way to satisfy. Add to that the fact that many of those are the ones willing to pay the biggest bucks when/if Twitter implements a business account, they could also be a contributing factor to Twitter's revenue model in the future. It makes total sense for Twitter to support those ~775 accounts. If they're ignored, they'll take their followers with them. Jesse
