The Twitter Effect: We Are All Members Of The Media Now

Anyone who has gotten the latest news about Steve Jobs’ resignation or the revolution in Libya from Twitter is probably used to the idea that the real-time information network has become a powerful tool for journalism — a point we’ve made often. But that reality is still filtering down through the world of political reporting, as a recent piece in the American Journalism Review describes. Just as CNN created the 24-hours news cycle for television, Twitter has accelerated that news cycle to the point where news breaks every minute of every hour, and a tweet is almost as good as a page-one scoop. Not only that, but anyone can do it.

Twitter Fires Product Team

Four key product managers at Twitter are getting the ax, TechCrunch's MG Siegler reports. They are Kevin Cheng, Josh Elman, Anamitra Banerji and Jean-Paul Cozzatti.

This sounds like a pretty big shake-up, and it probably is, and it's also completely normal. Jack Dorsey just returned to Twitter as the company's executive chairman and product visionary. Those people are part of the Ev Williams/Jason Goldman team.

Whenever a new leader steps in an organization, they usually replace the previous person's lieutenants with their own. It's not an ego thing: it's just that everyone is more comfortable working with a certain type of person, and so when you step in to run an organization, that's the people you want around you. And Dorsey is a visionary and very demanding product leader, often compared to Steve Jobs. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple people were terrified to get in an elevator with him because they feared they wouldn't have a job by the time the doors opened again.
