Fakesteve Twitter smackdown
Nobody says it better.. From via The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs via geoff_ink
the dopes who run Twitter love to preen and strut and tout the virtues of openness and freedom of information and total transparency and empowering people to speak the truth and breaking the shackles of of censorship — at least, when those people are in Iran. But they sure sing a different song when that spirit of openness is applied to Twitter itself. Right now they’re threatening to take legal action against TechCrunch, because TechCrunch dared to published some leaked (read: stolen) documents which revealed Twitter’s double-super-top-secret (and incredibly inane) plans to take over the world by 2013. Dear Twitter guys: You are a bunch of hapless half-wits, and now you’re hypocrites, too. Also, fwiw, your product is not a product — it’s a feature. There’s a difference. Your only way out is to be bought by someone who will add your feature to whatever they make. Yes, maybe you’ll have a zillion billion members by 2020. Lot of people use email and IM software, too. Have you heard of any email companies that are taking in a billion dollars a year selling email? Know any billion-dollar IM companies? Yeah, I didn’t think so. But keep gelling your hair into those ridiculous shapes and telling yourselves you’re the next Larry and Sergey. And keep pitching those crazy spreadsheets to VCs, and maybe they’ll keep you alive for another few years, you twats.
Thanks Steve, you make me laugh
