One of the tweets suggests Twitter is going to buy Medium. That's ... interesting.

(“Twitter”) announced that Evan Williams has decided to step down as a member of its board of directors (the “Board”), effective at the end of the month. Mr. Williams said in a statement, “It’s been an incredible 13 years, and I’m proud of what Twitter has accomplished during my time with the company. I will continue rooting for the team as I focus my time on other projects.” (from the SEC filing: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000119312519048369/d689678d8k.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000119312519...)
- DigitalVerse 8y agoThat would make sense. It's a pretty common practice for acquisitions to start out with a business partnership to see how well the two companies work together. This could simply be Twitter and Medium testing the waters.
