Twitter seems like both current-shareholders and the userbase would be best served by either acquisition by Google/Alphabet, or a takeover by either activist shareholder or private equity, with new, product-focused management.

If you focused on mobile in the right ways, you could turn Twitter into a legitimate $30-50b company.

It's amazing that FB Newsfeed has basically taken the low hanging fruit from Twitter -- "normal" people sharing life events, leaving only weird communities of people interacting in public. There has to be a way to preserve that, grow that, and get interpersonal interaction among more closely-knit communities happening.

They had such a huge opening when Facebook fucked themselves with the shitty-HTML5-only-mobile-clients. Sad.
