 @PhilipNowak  @ryanevans  @rodrakic  @timjahn  First off, @jessicalawrence  is super duper awesome. Showing off tech for it's own sake should be applauded and celebrated. Pitching or presenting a business idea without any thought to making money isn't a business or potential business, it's an idea. It only becomes a business idea when you consider ways to make money. Making that distinction clear makes for a more productive debate. 

Discussing business models shouldn't be trivialized though. I certainly don't find the conversation uninteresting. Business models are worthy of serious thought and conversation. Google's business model was brilliant and enabled it to change the world to the degree it has. The sustainability of Facebook and Twitter, and their lasting impact on the world, will ultimately come down to their business models. 

There is a time and a place to discuss everything, but if you're pitching a startup or a business idea, challenging your business model isn't just fair game, it's essential.
