“@bgurley @MichaelGuimarin Don’t wanna jinx it, but there’s a chance we can keep Twitter alive … https://t.co/mk3aCq0dEB”

“@EvaFoxU The media constantly writing about Twitter is driving usage to all-time highs, so it’s fine by me!”

“Twitter is like open-sourcing the news”

“Coverage of FTX meltdown is incomparably faster *and* better quality on Twitter than old-school media”

“@laurenweinstein @stocktalkweekly Correct. I will continue to run Twitter until it is in a strong place, which will take some time.”

“@paulg People have no idea how fast Twitter will evolve”

“@RationalBlonde With new release, changing your verified name will cause loss of checkmark until name is confirmed by Twitter to meet Terms of Service”

“@schrep True. Server side can (and has been) brute-forced, but that can’t solve weak Internet connections & older phones. Worth noting that Twitter in India & many other countries is slow even on latest iPhone.”

“@schrep There are ~1200 “microservices” server side, of which ~40 are critical to Twitter working at all, according to server control team. Trimming down that 1200 number, reducing data usage, serialized trips & simplifying app are all needed to improve speed of use.”

“@schrep Twitter is very slow in India, Indonesia & many other countries. This is fact, not “claim”. 10 to 15 secs to refresh homeline tweets is common. Sometimes, it doesn’t work at all, especially on Android phones. Only question is how much delay is due to bandwidth/latency/app.”

“@mayemusk @Twitter @instagram @Fidias0 🤗”

“@Popeska @sampullara Why is Twitter unusably slow in many countries? Seems odd that this would be bandwidth only.”

“Twitter is All the News”

“@alexeheath This is an external analysis, not from Twitter. It is lower than Twitter’s published mDAU.”

“@sampullara Part of today will be turning off the “microservices” bloatware. Less than 20% are actually needed for Twitter to work!”

“@sampullara I was told ~1200 RPCs independently by several engineers at Twitter, which matches # of microservices. The ex-employee is wrong. Same app in US takes ~2 secs to refresh (too long), but ~20 secs in India, due to bad batching/verbose comms. Actually useful data transferred is low.”

“@EricFrohnhoefer @MEAInd True, the food is great. The fact that you don’t realize that there are up to 1200 “microservices” being called when someone uses the Twitter app is not great.”

“@chainsawdotcom @CL207 SpaceX Starlink bought a tiny – not large – ad package to test effectiveness of Twitter advertising in Australia & Spain. Did same for FB/Insta/Google.”

“@Fwiz @SawyerMerritt Join Twitter!”

“@EricFrohnhoefer Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?”

“@_hawko False. Twitter spends $13M/year on food service for SF HQ. Badge in records show peak occupancy was 25%, average occupancy below 10%. There are more people preparing breakfast than eating breakfast. They don’t even bother serving dinner, because there is no one in the building.”

“@HSajwanization I hope they keep cursing me on Twitter, as it increases advertising revenue!”

“Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!”

“@johnkrausphotos Ultimately, I think there is no choice but for Twitter to be the final arbiter, but I’m open to suggestions”

“Rolling out soon, Twitter will enable organizations to identify which other Twitter accounts are actually associated with them”

“@BillyM2k Twitter rocks”

“Twitter feels increasingly alive”

“@JohnLegere @HolyKnightKeith @Twitter @MikeSievert @TMobile I like both you and Mike! It’s just that Twitter at its core is a software & servers company. The technology needs to evolve rapidly, which requires a technologist.”

“@JohnLegere @Twitter No”

“@MarioNawfal Twitter at its best!”

“Twitter is”

“FTX meltdown/ransack being tracked in real-time on Twitter”

“As Twitter pursues the goal of elevating citizen journalism, media elite will try everything to stop that from happening”

“Twitter HQ is great (this is a real pic) https://t.co/qjfOQCr533”

“Usage of Twitter continues to rise. One thing is for sure: it isn’t boring!”

“@kcoleman Community Notes is a gamechanger for improving accuracy on Twitter!”

“@Jeaia @StephenKing @Twitter @jack Yay!”

“@farzyness @Twitter Indeed”

“I love when people complain about Twitter … on Twitter 🤣🤣”

“@PPathole The goal of Twitter DMs is to superset Signal”

“@eglyman @tryramp @Twitter Twitter is growing super fast. I hope it continues!!”

“Please note that Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months. We will keep what works & change what doesn’t.”

“@jasontoff This is super messed up. Unfortunately, many such things occurred at Twitter. Even worse was done in later years. Meaningful growth happens when utility & entertainment value improve. That will be our focus going forward. No more fake numbers & pseudo growth.”

“@RustyRoad @ID_AA_Carmack Twitter is the most interesting place on the Internet”

“Twitter is the worst! But also the best.”

“Twitter usage is at an all-time high lol”

“But if Twitter is bird, that’s means … 🤯”

“@TomFitton @Twitter We do”

“Twitter rules will evolve over time, but they’re currently the following: https://t.co/Ut1tXuefso https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules”

“@jack Not everything needs to have “bird” in the name! Too many bird groups fighting each internally other at Twitter. Angry Birds.”
