I think pretty much everyone now ses that he is not as smart as people thought. But doesn't have any sense of self-preservation? He invested so much in Twitter, just to run it into ground by suicidal moves. Everyone uses Twitter? No, no more embedded tweets in all the sites. Ok, someone still uses it? Let's start charging. WTF?

I don't care what he does with it at this point.

Do you remember when I said I would kill Twitter last? I lied.

Well, this was the last drop for me. Kept the account in case I needed to communicate with some local companies who responded quite fast on that network. He ain't charging a damn thing from me. That's for sure.

As much as people here laugh - because yes, I get that it's very unlikely to work - I actually think this would be better for users than the ad-based model most social media use now.

I think it would be better because it will die out in a month

Who says they would get rid of ads?
