    Given the revelations that #Ello has taken venture capital, I withdraw any support I might have had. #indiepic.twitter.com/SF0NZaLeyw

        @aral does venture capital guarantee exit plans? Could it be a like a minded coalition? #ello

        @ClientCycle Unless we’re going to refine what venture capital is, yes, exit plan is a prerequisite to investment in VC.

        @knuthollund Cool. I might have joined quitter.se but it has 140 limit. I'm on http://loadaverage.org  but like the quitter interface.

        @jrmatheny Ahh okey. It's possible to switch between Qvitter interface and standard gnusocial in the settings. #gnusocial

        @jrmatheny Well... it does not work if the Qvitter plugin is not installed. Which instance are you trying?
