As always, Debbie will be RIGHT ON

Sure hope that they do not hire Soros to censor content.

Actually, it's currently for sale on Craigslist

There's a lot of interest, so servers might go down

NBC is pulling the plug on its Breaking News service that feeds the eponymous iOS app on Dec. 31, and is leaving 9.5 million followers on Twitter in the dark as well.

"As we discovered, such a model doesn't fit with advertising"

Same could be said for twitter. Monetizing is a b###h.

Four years from now it will be down to eleven people tweeting about coffee and a single Tweeter in Chief who uses Twitter as the de-facto state-run media.

Have you ever actually clicked on a Twitter ad? So many Twitter users aren't even using it in a context that allows them to really see ads. That's the brilliance of Facebook and Google search... the ads practically are the content now

Yesterday, he kicked the House GOP in the a## with it and that derailed or postponed one of their nefarious schemes (US sense of the word).

Maybe Trump will buy it.

Alphabet Inc.'s online search division agreed to purchase Fabric, a Twitter business that provides a software toolkit for mobile apps. The companies didn't disclose financial terms.

As part of the deal, Google also gets Crashlytics, Twitter's popular tool for tracking software failures.
