It's not that they want to throw it away, but that they might be wrong. People have been wrong with a lot more than $100m at stake. $100m of other people's money at that.
They've got time before they have to worry about profit. Something as large as Twitter is almost definitely monetizable, so it makes sense for people to invest now on the incredibly high chance that one day it makes insane amounts of money for its owners.
Look people, I hate twitter as much as the next holier-than-thou hacker, but you've got to admit that, even if you can't comprehend it, twitter is here to stay and apparently actually has some real value for real people.
Yeah, I know you could implement it better in one weekend. Big fucking deal. Here's a news flash for you:
They got lucky.
Yeah, that's right. Lucky. Just like every other successful startup genius who now makes more money off of his masterblogtion than you'll ever make with your startup.
After you get over your hate/jealousy, you'll realize that this giant rolling shit-ball called twitter just got started and it's picking up a lot of shit on the way down. And by shit, of course, I'm referring to money and people.
I, for one, have chosen to stand directly in front of this massive shit-ball with arms wide open, eyes to the heavens, hoping I get swallowed up and smeared in massive amounts of shit (money and people). Well, just money really, unless by people we're talking about hot women.
I'm proud to be a twitter whore. Embrace the dark side.

(Hmm, when I put it that way it sounds crazy.)

By my estimate (based on absolutely no knowledge or skill) it would seem that they're looking to do something in 3-5 years or so.
