Through all the over discussed history of Twitter, I have always tried to give Twitter the benefit of the doubt. I would think “Well, I have no clue why they are doing this, but I am sure that I am missing something would make it make sense.” No more. Twitter is going after television. No, you read that correctly, Twitter is headed Hollywood.
Spare me your groans, I have uttered enough of my own to cover us all. Twitter, apparently not growing fast enough, wants to reach out and, well, I am not sure really. They claim to want to “bring the immediacey of Twitter to life on TV.” (source). Really, what a waste of time, money, and such a powerful brand. Instead of building their core product and business, Twitter is off on a goose chase.
Hey Twitter, you already cannot handle the users you have. So, instead of doing this, why not buy some more servers?
