Twitter Is Here To Stay
Rakesh Agrawal’s PayPal-trashing tweet disaster — and the subsequent chicken/egg story of whether he quit or was sacked — was a slightly surreal turn of events for a company whose most explosive story over the last six months has been whether a notorious corporate raider was going to get his way and unbundle it from eBay (he didn’t).

After Technology Destroys Capitalism
In honor of May Day, let's think big for a moment. No, no, no. Bigger than that. Consider all the furious attention paid to economic inequality of late, courtesy of Thomas Piketty and Capital in the 21st Century. He argues that increasing inequality is an inevitable outcome of laissez-faire capitalism, and proposes we fix this with a global wealth tax. I humbly suggest that he's thinking… Read More -
With IPO Hopes Fading, Square And Box Face Reality Of Commodity Products
Square and Box would seem to be the very epitome of every startup founder’s dream of reaching the pinnacle of entrepreneurial success. Take a kernel of an idea and turn it into a massive, multi-billion-dollar company that publicly debuts in an IPO. For the founders involved, the exhilaration and elation of that drive to the top must be deeply palpable, and at times it probably seems as though… Read More -
Everything Facebook Launched At f8 And Why
This year's f8 didn't see comedian Andy Sandberg bumbling around on stage parodying Mark Zuckerberg. And that was smart, because Facebook is no joke to the millions of developers that earn their livelihoods on the social network.

How I Killed A Startup In 4 Hours (And Why I Don’t Regret It)
I hate activist journalism. But last week, I was responsible for the death of a startup. It was probably the fastest death in the history of the tech industry: four hours from launch to dead-pool, by my reckoning. If that sounds like boasting, well… I’m afraid it is. Let me explain. Read More -
How Burrowing Owls Lead To Vomiting Anarchists (Or SF’s Housing Crisis Explained)
Today, the tech industry is apparently on track to destroy one of the world’s most valuable cultural treasures, San Francisco, by pushing out the diverse people who have helped create it.
