Entrepreneurs have to walk a fine line. Marten Mickos, CEO of MySQL who sold the open-source company to Sun Microsystems for 1 billion, says entrepreneurs can’t be too optimistic and too pessimistic.They just have to have faith. While in prison, Admiral Stockdale once said, "It’s having unwavering faith that you will prevail in the end." Mickos isn’t saying that building a startup is like being in prison. Though these tough times sure makes it feel that way.What he means is that entrepreneurs must believe that one day everything will be perfect and until then, you have to go through whatever pain you have to go through.

But based on the tweets, Twitter is truly demonstrating that there is an insatiable appetite for pointless tweets coming from some dude. "Blah blah blah." Isn't that the name of his company?
