The fact that Twitter is in the position it is in is hardly a … Continue reading Twitter Made Its Own Bed
Twitter named its Chief Technology Officer - Parag Agrawal - Chief Executive Officer effective immediately. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey stepped down from his CEO post and will remain on Twitter's Board.

Both Facebook (Facebook Blue and Instagram) and Twitter have an enormous Bot problem. Fake user accounts are included in active user counts and therefore contribute to Ad rates.
