From what I understood they aren't just researchers who put together some ideas. They are working on a real product which they want to sell. I can still accept them not having a site until they actually have something substantial to reveal. But I'm not OK with them using Twitter to communicate until then. IRC is not the same as some site, since not everything from IRC is logged (if logged at all). Some open public communication channel would complement IRC which is more suitable for realtime conversations.
