What Twitter’s new CEO might do
 

The news: Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey has stepped down and handed over the reins to the company's chief technology officer Parag Agrawal, who is now CEO with immediate effect. Dorsey, who co founded the company in 2006, leaves it with 210 million daily active users and yearly revenues of $3.7 billion. He's worth $12.5 billion, according to Forbes, and still owns 2.3% of Twitter. 

Some background: While the timing of his departure was a surprise, it had been long anticipated. Dorsey had been under growing pressure from investors for effectively running the company part-time, as he juggled his duties with running another tech company he started, Square, and pursuing a growing obsession with all things cryptocurrency and blockchain-related. Last year, activist investor Elliott Management had tried to squeeze him out, eventually reaching a deal with Twitter's management to push up revenues and grow the user base. This is the context that Agrawal steps into.

Who is he? Agrawal is not a well-known public figure, but he's seen as a safe pair of hands. He's strongly backed by not only Dorsey but also Twitter's board, which unanimously voted for his appointment. He's worked at Twitter for more than a decade in a series of technical roles, culminating in his appointment as CTO in 2017. He's been at the forefront of the company's efforts to boost its artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. Agrawal spoke to MIT Technology Review last year at our annual EmTech conference about the measures the company has been using to fight back against misinformation. It came at a crucial time, just before the US election, and gives you a really insightful look at how Agrawal views Twitter’s place in the public conversation.

The entire conversation is also available on our podcast.

What he might do: Agrawal steps into a high-intensity, high-expectation role, and inherits some seriously punchy targets: Twitter has pledged to increase its daily users to 315 million by the end of 2023 and at least double its annual revenue. Given his technical background, it's likely we'll hear more about how the company plans to use and scale up technology to meet its moderation challenges.

This NYC Startup is Disrupting a $3T asset class

Did you know that wealth held in art is worth $1.7T?

Think about it... 

That’s 5x larger than Elon Musk’s  net worth. And Deloitte estimates that the global value of art will grow by 53% by 2026, reaching nearly $3T. 

Unfortunately, most people have no idea they can invest in this exciting asset. Thankfully, a $1B company from NYC called Masterworks.io, lets you invest in art by Banksy, Picasso, and Monet without spending millions.

Now you can access the asset class that’s outpaced the S&P 500 by 174% from 1995 to 2020.

The must-reads

I’ve combed the internet to find you today’s most fun/important/scary/fascinating stories about technology.

9 The pitfalls of using emojis at work
If there’s a credible risk of miscommunication, stick to plain text. Or even—gasp—a phone call. (WSJ $)
 
10 An obscure cryptocurrency called Omicron soared in value 📈
“No, not that...oh never mind.” (Coin Telegraph)
Quote of the day

If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

Contributions Welcome

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:

I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com
I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry
If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
