        @mattgemmell A valid point, but not entirely correct here. Our images are personal and far more valuable to us than 140 character outbursts.

        @roelgroeneveld When you claim to represent all users, and then put "images" against "outbursts", your argument is sort of stupid.

        @mattgemmell But I still think it’s also because images are more ‘personal’, at least for most people.

        @roelgroeneveld Yeah. So pay someone, if they matter so much. Or don't be surprised when your free service sells your stuff to make money.

        @mattgemmell Oh, I agree with that. As a paying pinboard, flickr, instapaper subscriber, etc. You don’t need to convert me to that pov.

        @mattgemmell To be fair, they're complaining about it everywhere. Even Facebook, which is the real hilarity.
