I'm curious about the whole thing. I've heard that Twitter offices were something of a playground, that not everyone did much work, and that with 4m losses every day, obviously drastic measures were needed. I wouldn't have done it by email like that. I'd have slowed things down, asked for voluntary redundancies first, etc, given people a chance to breathe, but then time is money and I'm not a billionaire. I sympathise with what he's done, but not a huge fan of the way he did it. As for what happens next? His way of operating is certainly fast moving and dynamic. I don't know whether it's going to be to the detriment of the platform. I hope not. I like Twitter, but don't go on there much now, since I'm over here instead.
