Joyent and twitter did not have a "hasty divorce;" It was known back in mid-December that Twitter was moving away from Joyent and it was not the result of any bad blood between the two companies. (See <a href="http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=157592)" rel="nofollow">http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=157592)</a> The news to us Joyent customers was that Twitter and Joyent still HAD a relationship, as we thought they had been gone for at least a month. Yes, the recent PR two-step between Joyent and twitter is bizarre, but in the light of the history of the situation it's kind of silly to call this a "hasty divorce." Have to call you out on this.
