Twitter Focused On Building Global Town Square (And Dodging IPO Questions)

Mary C. Long — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:00:36 +0000

Twitter’s CEO is great at dodging IPO questions – so great, in fact, we’ve coined a new term: Costolo’d.

It means openly and unapologetically refusing to answer a question no matter how hard one is pressed. It isn’t elegant and it doesn’t even ATTEMPT to evade, it’s a bold (and mildly mocking) reiteration of whatever was said just before even though it so very obviously does not answer the question at hand.

Want to know when you’re being Costolo’d? Read on!

Twitter CEO Gets NBA Star To Slam Dunk By Jumping Over Son’s Head

Mary C. Long — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:10:15 +0000

It must be tough being a high-profile person and keeping your family out of the limelight (or the tweet light, if talking about Twitter’s CEO, Dick Costolo. Which we are.).

But with the perks, comes those ooh’ing and ahh’ing about them in envy.

And when you have a famous basketball player land a slam dunk after jumping over your kid’s head, what do you expect?

China Is Too High Maintenance For Twitter – And So Are Casual Users

Mary C. Long — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 20:00:39 +0000

Don’t expect to see Twitter unblocked by China (or by Iran for that matter) any time soon.

Twitter’s CEO says the company has no plans to make the sacrifices these high maintenance countries require.

And don’t even get the folks at Twitter started on the topic of “casual Twitter users.” Just . . . don’t.

Twitter Minions Cringe As CEO Vows Downloadable Tweets By End Of Year

Mary C. Long — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:00:45 +0000

Twitter’s CEO, Dick Costolo gave an hour-long presentation the University of Michigan recently and during this speech he insisted, yet again, that users will be able to download ALL of their tweets by the end of the year. But is that possible?

Twitter engineers seem to think not. Pretty much everybody writing about this topic seems to think not. So why the impossible challenge? That doesn’t seem very Holiday Spirit-ish.

Is Costolo a grinch?

Laughs Likely When Twitter’s CEO Speaks At Alma Mater

Mary C. Long — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 18:00:38 +0000

Wouldn’t you love to go to your high school reunion and say “yeah, I haven’t been up to much . . . still just doing the CEO thing at Twitter.” Bam.

Well, Twitter’s CEO, Dick Costolo could do that. But this post isn’t about high school reunions or showing off – it’s about college (and showing off).

Costolo will be speaking at his alma mater this month, sharing how he became CEO at Twitter. Oh and he was a comedian for a while too, so there are bound to be some funny moments.

Twitter CEO Says Being In Charge Is For The Birds – Psychologically Damaged Birds

Mary C. Long — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:00:23 +0000

Think you have what it takes to run Twitter?

Sure you have some awesome ideas about how Twitter should use direct messages and ways it could grant free hippy-like API access and such, but unless you have nerves of steel, like making people debate and are okay with living every day knowing “no one is going to like you”- then maybe you don’t have the chops to lead Twitter. And maybe you can’t be a CEO at all! How sad for you.

That sad little bit was quoted from Twitter’s CEO Dick Costolo, not me, by the way – I think he seems perfectly likable. Though his eyes DO look a little crazy in some pics.

‘Difficult To Work With’ Jack Dorsey Takes ‘Reduced’ Role At Twitter

Shea Bennett — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:00:57 +0000

A little over 18 months ago, in a move that was widely applauded by industry pundits and analysts, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey returned as Executive Chairman of the micro-blogging company after stepping down as CEO five months previously.

(Although, really, he’d actually been in the wilderness and taken a back seat for some time.)

Dorsey, of course, is also founder of Square, and, at the time, pledged to continue his prominent role at both companies.

Not no more.
