The idea: Atlantic gets a new crop of writers, and converts their subscribers into Atlantic subscribers. And writers get a steady check instead of worrying about churn, finding new subs etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeIsaac I’m for more voices and more disclosures. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@MikeIsaac Assuming you mean the fact that the writer’s husband has a Facebook job, not that NPR gets sponsorship $ from Facebook. If so: Should she not write the story at all? Or do you want the disclosure up higher? — PolitiTweet.org

@bmorrissey Also it seemed like faking it worked really well with investors? It was the audience that never went for it. — PolitiTweet.org

@josephflaherty Interesting to tease out which product/features are resistant to porting. Might be as simple as “which ones have a core user base that *really* cares about it” vs “thing that is cool but not essential. It’s not like place-based check-ins are core parts of Fb, IG, Twitter etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@josephflaherty But if the core problem is that it’s a feature not a company, I don’t know how you steer out of that, regardless of attention/$/star power surfeit or deficit. — PolitiTweet.org

Strategery: MoPub was Twitter’s biz focused on selling ads outside of Twitter. Was a real business that Twitter scaled up significantly, but still not core for them. https://t.co/jvp8Jt9WJI — PolitiTweet.org

Rare un-merger where the seller gets more than they paid: Twitter bought MoPub for $350mm in 2013x; selling for $1b now. — PolitiTweet.org

One difference between Cook and Jobs: In the Jobs era, Apple workers never said a word about the company outside of campus. But current Apple employee @cherthedev spoke to us about her recent organizing efforts at the company, and what she wants to do next. — PolitiTweet.org
