It is common when you have more than one product.
Twitter has more than one product. Off the top of my head: Twitter App- Web, IOS, Android, Other Twitter API Twitter Firehose Twitter Advertising Twitter Analytics

I know I might sound like a vim user, but tweetstorms are honestly one of my favourite parts of twitter. Maybe there could be a better UI for authoring and displaying them, but there's something I really enjoy about reading a story 140 characters at a time.
Same. My thought for this, and I wanted to build a media industry specific alternative to Twitter using it, was to allow a tweet/story to have depth/paging. So, imagine your timeline is a regular, vertical stream. But any tweet could have paging on the horizontal axis, and you'd hit next or swipe to continue reading. Anyone browsing could read the opening tweet and ignore the rest if they wanted. Subsequent tweets wi…

Facebook and Google aren't financially struggling. There's something to be said for "too many chefs" when your main issue is doing something, anything to make some cash. Perhaps some downsizing was truly in order. On the other hand, losing this many execs in this short of time almost never bodes well, which means their stock price is going to tumble even further without something drastic happening soon.
> Facebook and Google aren't financially struggling. Because advertising on Facebook and Google pays off. Twitter, afaik, has struggled to be a relevant ad platform.
There is this thing called the foundation of America and it centres on what's called the 1st amendment. If you think twitter or any social platform should interfere with that and somehow grants him a platform to destroy the world then I suggest you re-evaluate your stance, stop over reacting like a 15 year old, and pick up a copy of 1984.
I disagree with SapphireSun but Twitter isn't the gov't. https://xkcd.com/1357/
EDIT: In nearly every other case, I am very pro-free speech. It 's an indicator of how shocking this is that I'm rethinking it at all.

What is there to build out? I guess it could be made more obvious for those that don't get it, but it's already being used in exactly the way you describe by Twitter's power users.
You're right that it's already usable, but it could be even better. For example: 1) Making it easier to compose Tweetstorms (third-party services like WriteRack exist, but it would be nice to have official support). 2) Enhancing the display of Tweetstorms to make them easier to follow. Right now, the UI for viewing Tweet replies is the same regardless of who's replying to who. Twitter could make it so that a person's…

So, they have one product but multiple VPs of product? Sounds like some trimming was in order.
It's just a title, and titles are free. If you want to see a lot of VPs, go visit your friendly neighborhood bank. :-)

Now, if you want to talk about the $2.5B expense line....

It's cute. It's part of the medium. Books must have pages. Tweetstorms must have 140char tweets.
>Tweetstorms must have 140char tweets. seems to be matching the pacing of a graphic novel.
Twitter can make money, all it has to do is reduce its operational costs first. Then launch new products to grow. Twitter isn't going to become the new ad-sense or Facebook if it isn't a platform at first place. And you don't become a platform if your product isn't relevant to a lot of people. People use Google for search. People use Facebook to connect with friends and family. Who needs a Twitter account aside from…
At the moment, and since just after I quit Facebook, Twitter has worked for me regarding how I communicate and consume over such "live feed" social media.
