G+_Donald E. “Don” Riley Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 A simple resolution would be for Twitter to buy Twit for about 4 Billion or so. Then install Leo as its CEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Black Merc Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Donald E. Riley why in the world would Leo agree to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Donald E. “Don” Riley Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Black Merc Because that was 4Billion with a "B" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Black Merc Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Donald E. Riley? if Sir Leo was just interested in money he would've cashed-out before now. He is (I believe) a reporter at his core, in which, wishes to disseminate knowledge to the masses. My god man, he owns a Tesla! What more could a man want?

G+_Black Merc Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Matt Lee it's not about copyright or anything droll like that. The two parties had an agreement, and one thinks that agreement was broken by the other. In your analogy to Ford and Toyota, that was over copyright/patents... No maker has an agreement with another maker to not make something look simular to the others.(microchips look like other microchips, the difference is the function) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Donald E. “Don” Riley Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 One part where confusion comes into play is in attracting advertisers. Ad men or women ate not known to the brightest bulbs. I can see where when Leo presents his proposal there could be confusion between the two companies.

G+_William L. DeRieux IV Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Matt Lee Just like Donald E. Riley said .... TWIT makes money from the advertisements. If Twitter starts a premium video service -- and I am sure there will be advertising -- this might impact TWIT's source of revenue and their lively hood and Leo is probably worried that the advertisers will leave and move to Twitter. To an advertiser there is a big difference between Twit and Twitter and it is in the number of people that can be reached -- common sense suggests that will spend money on the one with the most reach.

G+_Scott Baker Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Matt Lee Listening to Tom Merritt just today he noted that there is sometimes confusion between the two. (Tom used to work at TWiT so his experience comes first-hand.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
