What's curious to me is how Twitter made so few improvements so slowly during the past few years, when its Chinese counterpart, Weibo, could release waves of new features in fast pace. Not that all the new features are good in users' eyes, of course, but isn't fast iteration a motto in the Bay Area?
Twitter hiring Anthony Noto was one of the worst. They need to replace the board which essentially means someone needs to acquire them in order to unlock the potentials.
Problem is that nobody wants them. Two or three years ago there was regular talk about Twitter selling the company, but every potential buyer (e.g. Google) said no in the end. Twitter is just not a very good business, but it does attract a lot of scrutiny due to its size and impact. It has pretty much all the risks of Facebook with none of the cash flow.
Twitter's operations threw off about a billion in cash for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 [1].

Don't you think that scaling to handle global growth is a feature?
Drivel. Nothing directly actionable. If a CEO has to be physically in his office to successfully run the company, he has done a poor job in building leadership under him/her. Jack is doing what he should be, finding new growth opportunities. Milking the users with more Ads will just piss off users for short term gains.
And here is a fine example of how to dribble (via twitter): https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/120241814211214540...
Man, why does a simple blog need so much JavaScript? (Sorry, I know this is not the most productive of comments, but I am genuinely curious to know. Also, if not me, someone else is inevitably going to say it, I suspect).
Maybe all the author cares about is writing and content? I don't think this is an issue at all for the majority of people. Remember that you (and people visit/comment on articles on this orange site) are the 0.01% of people in the world that care about JavaScript being an issue.
Woah. Galloway bought $10m worth of Twitter shares and is demanding Dorsey's ouster by board!

Seriously, if you can't push out a CEO for under-performance in this case, when can you.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Chances of that happening are approximately nil, in my estimation. Though I suppose he doesn't lose much by trying.
> Chances of that happening are approximately nil, in my estimation The author has put money behind their estimation. Given Twitter's performance and Galloway's mouthpiece, I wouldn't put organizing its shareholders beyond the realm of plausibility. (Or the Board compromising to take a thorn out of their side.) The battle is really getting the question of a part-time CEO on the agenda, which requires replacing a few…
