Twitter is a dead long live twitter

 Corporate rebranding takes time. It is carefully calibrated and represents the new directions of the company.

Unless it is Twitter. Then the change can happen in a matter of a week.

The domain x.com pointed yesterday to a page with one character “X”. Today it redirects to the twitter domain and soon we might see the dead of the bird and the birth of the symbol “X”.

This change will be followed carefully and we can all learn from the mistakes Elon Musk will do during this transition.

He already is very famous with the mistakes he did during his first weeks in the company.

Can the company survive such a transformation is another open question?

There are already some competitors like Mastodon and Instagram very own Threads.

But the vision of Elon Musk is to turn this app more like WeChat, the Chinese mega app that combines many features.

The issue with such a combination of too many businesses and too many regulations might play a crucial role in the downfall of the company.

Many times smaller and more Agile companies will outrun a huge one which wants to be specialized in everything.

The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
