* Remove Jack from CEO position * Let Evan return as CEO (merge with Medium) ... this will restore Twitter management to the situation around 2010, then ... * Reform or cancel the Trust & Safety council * Restore open API access and app ecosystem * Remove side wide censorship tools, add self censorship tools (a la Gab) * Reverse the timeline changes * Stop pandering to far left ideologues Something like that?
If that turns out to not be the case, then the strategy would depend on how far from profitability they are -- are we talking about minor tweaks to the business model? Or a major overhaul of entire company?
In short, how would I turn it around? I'd step in and do a large analytic effort on the status quo, and then react to the result.
I tweeted this few months ago: 1) Add golden heart 2) Sell golden hearts to users. 3) Reward some golden hearts daily to users, perhaps based on tiered ranking. 4) Allow advertisers to gift golden hearts to users. 5) 'Promote' tweets with golden hearts and display them in Moments. In short, allow peer promotion. Red hearts are currently being wasted as weak social signals and nods. This change blurs the line between…

Well, for starters I would: 1. Focus on making the company profitable by cutting down on staff and resources. Seriously, Twitter doesn't need thousands of employees, a large HQ and all that other fancy stuff. I think a team of about 30 people could probably run it fine. 2. Get developers on board again. Open up API access, stop shutting down/blocking projects, etc. Make people feel like they could start a business on…
I'm really struggling to see how to maintain/develop and work on such a complex problem at that scale with a team of only 30.

Dear Twitter,
You have it in your power to truly differentiate your platform and make the world a better place by implementing controversial topic and filter bubble detection (per the paper we looked at yesterday), together with letting users see their polarity score (per today’s paper) and making controversy reducing / filter-busting follower recommendations (also per today’s paper). This would be something new and unique in the world of mass media consumption, and could help to make Twitter great again.
How about it?

I want to watch the superbowl from twitter: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/technology/with-nfl-deal-... I have no idea how to watch the superbowl and I tried several apps. I had cable tv for like 1 year of highschool, and haven't felt any reason to purchase for myself since, but some things, like the superbowl / Olympics / World Cup etc. would be really great to be able to watch - no I'm not going to deal with ca…
You could try an antenna - most of the things you mentioned are broadcast over the air
Layoff everyone except for the bare minimum to keep the company operational (~100-200 people), take it private and print money for 10 years then let it naturally sunset itself.
The problem is that would require the value of the company to crash down to its actual value (some reasonable revenue multiple).
