Live tweeting that you're getting fired seems like a terrible idea to me.
Why? Are they in danger of being fired for it?

There's a difference between being fired and being made redundant usually. (Although perhaps US terminology is different, in the UK usually "fired" refers to dismissal, redundancy is a different process with more compensation and a process employers must follow.)

Would you want to hire someone that live tweets everything that goes on at your firm? Most companies would rather not risk being held hostage (so to speak) by their employees if the management decides it needs to shut down a department or stop offering a product.

#16WinAMP and ShoutCast are no longer a fit for AOL. This is most likely the writing on the wall for them. Sad because WinAMP is still a great product.
WinAMP is a great product by the standards of 1998.
If "standards of 1998" means proper parsing and display of metadata in various character sets from various sources (local file, internet streams etc), wide input format support, gapless playback and Replaygain support, relatively low resource usage, instantaneous search and unrestricted customizability then I wished more music players followed them.

How did live tweeting that you're being fired get turned into "everything that goes on at your firm?"

I always imagined that nullsoft was angling to get immediately canned right after they leaked Gnutella into the wild.
I'm surprised they're still around.

Foobar is my current end all and be all in these terms. It does all of that and is endlessly extensible.

I use FB2k too, though I had to adapt to its creator's hate for the "Now Playing" list, forcing media library browsers to maintain playlists instead.
