pinaceae·11 years ago·discussmy guess this worldview on for-profit companies is google's fault.google ads is funding the other google, which behaves like a non-profit. and it works, as their ad business is amazing.but, it sets a really bad example to follow. twitter thought a long time they could operate like google it seems. time to bring back reality.
pinaceae·11 years ago·discussfinally.completely incomprehensible why they needed such a large headcount. ten times more than whatsapp would be ok - but not this behemoth.all these designers do what exactly? ignore ipads, macs, etc.i love twitter, use it constantly to follow journalists, vcs, basically to get faster news than any site. i hope twitter can be cut back to the bone.
