Twitter isn't a product. It's, at best, a product-construction command line; every product they've had (photo-sharing before murderized by Instagram, for instance) has been accidental. How not to product manage 101.

American use of the term "socialism" is frankly bizarre. Western Europe's governments are largely run by social democrats, Christian democrats or liberal conservatives. Very few are left enough to be properly called democrati
