WP --and everyone else-- should also stop calling it X, which is a ridiculous name, and go back to calling it Twitter.

They were making massive jaw-dropping revenue years years before IPO. Secretly — the public or press were unaware.

This is all such a 2005 Techcrunch vibe the last few days. Michael Arrington, where are you?? (for all the youngsters reading this: this kind of cool-kids-club silicon valley drama was daily back then)

An "Independent" board is supposed to be a good thing, right? Doesn't this clown show show that if a board has no skin in the game --apart from reputation-- they have no incentive to keep the company alive?

This is a case where a "cure" is not actually beneficial to society. Case in point: red wine gives me headaches and hives, whiskey burns my tongue, and alcohol just makes me very sleepy. As a result, I've just stopped drinki

Not a power move at all! It's just that people who are this smart, whose brains operate in a higher dimension than you can possibly imagine, won't waste precious mental cycles on silly uppercases just the rest of us commoners.

It doesn't have to be that he was actually caught in a scandal. It could be that the board was investigating some serious accusation, and he was not cooperative and forthright, which they might have no patience for. I invented a sayin

Could be big implications for home buyers in Silicon Valley. With standard-issues houses now casually in the $2M+ range, it's outrageous that the selling and buying agent each pocket $60K+ for a few days of easy work.
