Great callout. I believe the playbook for Twitter is now crystal clear:

* Bring back Jack Dorsey as the founding luminary

* Have him strike a deal with their ancient rival Facebook for an injection of capital in exchange for embedding Instagram on Twitter

* Watch as the stock price goes vertical (??)

Yes I know this is a joke. But I think the satire was about bringing Dorsey back.

Just to make it perfectly clear though, Microsoft’s “injection of cash” - at the tune of $150 million had nothing to do with keeping Apple solvent. The CFO at the time had just secured a line of credit of a couple of billion before Jobs returned.

At the time I think reassuring the public that Microsoft Office would continue to be available on Macs was more important than the money.
