#3How on earth did it take over 3 hours for someone at Color or Sequoia to confirm the company is in-fact not dead? You'd think employees/founders/investors would have been tweeting like crazy to deny the rumor.

Perhaps they're waiting for the CEO to come back from his long vacation.

Because the last thing you want to do is have employees (even execs) shooting their mouths off in the heat of the moment and saying something stupid.
You want to regroup, figure out WTF is going on and how the rumor started, and figure out a sensible statement that is going to calm this down instead of rile it up some more.

Because people have work to do, rather than sitting around checking Twitter, HN, and TC all day long? It's not like something's going to happen if they don't respond ASAP. As long as they'd gotten something out by the end of they day, they'd've been fine.
