Wow, Google has really become the IBM of 2005s. All flashy demos, 'call sales' to try anything.

According to Fiona Cicconi, Google’s chief people officer, Google employed 30,000 managers before the recent layoffs. The hard truth is Google needs a Twitter style culling. Take all those billions you're burning and give it to people with a builder mentality, not career sheeple. Unfortunately the same executives who would oversee this are the ones who need to be culled first.

How did the Twitter-style culling work out for Twitter?

AFAIK it worked out well. Works more-less the same as before, shipped quite a bit of stuff and drastically reduced costs.

Not if you have no account and are not in US. Before, when I clicked on twitter link it worked 99.9% of the time. Now it is lottery. Sometimes it loads without comments, most of the time it does not load at all.

Even with an account (though I'm also not in the US, but in the UK) I've recently (many months) found the Twitter site to be about as unreliable as the old, early fail whale days (except instead of a cute whale, I just get the page refreshing back to the top of my timeline, or a tweet loading then replies failing to load).

I used to hardly ever see spam, except when looking at replies to famous huge accounts, now I get 2-5 follows/likes/mentions a day from fake accounts mostly of semi-naked girls with a link to a website.

And any reasonably active thread of replies to a tweet now surfaces the idiotic nonsense of blue tick subscribers to the top, rather than ranking by tweet quality/relevance.
