Are you trying to build buzz, but don’t have the cash to launch a full-fledged PR campaign? I emphasize that the best PR you can build is through satisfied customers with high Net Promoter scores.

I guess it may be impractical for Twitter to acquire Seesmic given it has raised considerable amounts of venture capital (reportedly $12 million) but the broader point for me is that I always believed Twitter should control the client versions of its product.

While it can be a beneficial tool for raising funds and developing a community of supporters, it should not be a startup’s exclusive source of funding. Founders should consider other fundraising possibilities, such as traditional venture capital or angel investment, as well as non-dilutive funding sources such as grants or loans.
