>If something withstands the test of time, use it. Every leader learns from the past. Every leader uses the past as his filter to figure out what will succeed in the future.
I don't know if I can come up with a worse quote to prove that point even if I tried.
> It seems crazy, but it’s not. Because it seems crazy, it’s exactly why Twitter should consider it.

This just isn't true. Every once in a while you see a student trying one out, but the technology isn't there. People do math with notebooks and pencils.

Your CEO's main job at a relatively mature company like Twitter is to set the tone for your brand, and Snoop is huge across the entire millennial set (aka Twitter's target demographic). I can actually see a scenario where this happens, and as long as Snoop is willing to learn the business (and from all accounts the guy is a great listener and fast learner), the board could ease him into the role and support him.
This would also be awesome on another level, because then two of the guys who produced "Fuck the Police" would be in senior-level executive positions at major tech companies (Dre is over at Apple).
Interesting song choice considering all of the songs he has worked on with other artists. And saying one of the best tracks of all time is probably a stretch there. This author just sounds like he has a crush on Snoop.
1) Declining active user numbers. 2) They have not improved their product since it's inception. 3) They cannot increase the advertising load by much more, so do not expect a big jump in revenue. 4) Lots of engineering talent has left and more is in the process of leaving.
Meanwhile, the exodus to instagram and snapchat continues.
What a fucking joke.
