In Any Acquisition, Here’s How Much We Think Twitter Is Worth

Posted on by

There is much market speculation at the moment about Twitter potentially being acquired, with prospective buyers including Alphabet and Salesforce . Both of these companies likely have different motivations for acquiring Twitter: Alphabet could benefit from Twitter’s established social media presence (although its growth has slowed) and live video streaming potential, while Salesforce could use the social/news platform’s large amounts of data generated by its 313 million users for accelerating the former’s artificial intelligence-led future growth strategy.

Why are people mad about 1.11? via /r/Minecraft

Why are people mad about 1.11?

It has some pretty awesome stuff. A new, large, randomised structure. 4 new mobs. Treasure maps. New villagers. You lose hunger slower. Creeper potion bombs. And a lot more. People are saying that it isn't enough content for 3-4 months of work and 4 devs. I think it shows how much they want to polish each of their features. And, they wouldn't have all of 3-4 months with Minecon and PE updates. I think we were all spoiled by 1.9, honestly. I am very grateful for all the devs have done and how much work they put into each feature. They test, and refine, and add little features like llama caravans and shulker boxes popping when pushed.

Anyway, just my thoughts on the recent anger against Mojang about 1.11
