 "Twitter is more than jotted-down notes from a handful of meetings," blogs Twitter Inc. co-founder Biz Stone in a blog post late Thursday titled Someone Call Security about the publication of internal business documents stolen by a hacker who gained access to an administrative employee's e-mail account about a month ago.Stone's post comes after the tech blog TechCrunch published some of the documents, including a financial forecast, a pitch for a Twitter TV show and notes on meetings with executives from Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). Stone writes: Our future will be shaped by the passion and inventiveness of everyone who uses Twitter and through the execution of our ideas. Nevertheless, the publication of stolen documents is irresponsible and we absolutely did not give permission for these documents to be shared. Out of context, rudimentary notes of internal discussions will be misinterpreted by current and future partners jeopardizing our business relationships. We are pursuing a path to address the harm caused by these actions and as noted yesterday, we've already reached out to the partners and individuals affected. Twitter has raised a reported $55 million in venture funding since its founding in 2006 and has been the subject of many M&A rumors. - Mary Kathleen Flynn
