My guess is that he just really loves the product, and now that Ev and Biz are AWOL, he can actually do what he wants with it.
It's also a great PR response to the #dickbar.
- ryanhuff 16y agoWho knows what motivates a person, but strictly from an opportunity perspective, Twitter is a more certain outcome than Square. If NFC on the phone takes off, then Square technology may soon become antiquated. This move certainly doesn't bode well for Square, though.
- dotBen 16y agoNot wanting to go off-topic but we're a long way away from NFC taking off in any time you could reasonably describe as "soon". It's available on one semi-beta phone and that's it.
- 18pfsmt 16y agoIt's important to note that most of what Square brings to the table is not hardware. It acquires merchant transactions and manages payment risk. Square can simply support other hardware technology, but their focus is on the merchant side.
- brown9-2 16y agoIs it a great PR response? It seems to me that a move like this helps solidify the #dickbar as a failure, and shows the company acknowledges it needs to fix the direction (which they have not been willing to state thus far).
- rmobin 16y agoI haven't been able to find the answer to this: why are Ev and Biz AWOL? What are they doing now?
- rokhayakebe 16y agoBiz is apparently sitting on AOL's board.
