Am I the only one who thinks "Tweets his Resignation" is sensationalist, link bait bs?
On Jan 27 he tweeted a link to "likely my last blog at Sun" - http://twitter.com/OpenJonathan/status/8312583611 http://twitter.com/OpenJonathan/status/8312583611
And that blog made it clear that with the Sun / Oracle transaction having closed he was on his way. Even that's hardly news - you can't really have two CEOs, so someone was always losing that title, and Sun was the one taken over.
- axod 17y agoI agree @ title. Sadly it's just how the media works. "Twitter bullying! New phenomenon! Be afraid." "Guy dumps his wife on twitter!" "Man finds his long lost son via a tweet" "How a startup was born out of a single tweet" "How terrorists are now using twitter to coordinate attacks" I think the problem is that some people view twitter/internet/latest big thing to be mysterious/worrying/game changing. It rarely is. Also of course some people just see <hyped keyword> and assume it's amazing new news unprecedented.
