Great article! Looks like a lot of good news. I'm really excited about the Euro-merchant launch; it's an important step towards mainstream adoption.

I'm not too concerned about the twitter ban. Although twitter is currently thriving I think it will eventually go downhill, and either way as more mainstream adoption occurs over time I think twitter will realize it's in its own best interest to lift the ban.

Again, great article! Well presented and informative, rock on!
