Kusukela u-Elon Musk ethathele ku-Twitter, inkampani enenyoni encane eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka yenza izindaba njalo ngemva kwezinsuku. Ukudilizwa, izici ezintsha, ezinye izici ezihlulekile, amahlazo... kodwa kubonakala sengathi ekugcineni sekunokukhanya okuthile ekugcineni komhubhe futhi akuzona zonke izindaba ezimbi enkampanini entsha ye-tycoon. I-Twitter iqala ukuqasha futhi ikwenza lokho ezigabeni ezihluke kakhulu kulezo ebigxile kuzo kuze kube manje.
Ukudilizwa kwakamuva kanye nakho konke ukwesula ngemuva kwezicelo zikaMusk zamahora okusebenza kanzima kushiye i-Twitter nenani elincane kakhulu labasebenzi (abangaphansi kwe-1000 futhi bathatha "abancane kakhulu" ngokuqapha, kunjalo). I-Twitter yehlise abasebenzi bayo ngezingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu uma iqhathaniswa neyayikhona ngaphambi kokufika kwale ngqalabutho. Kubonakala sengathi imihlahlandlela evela phezulu ayizange ifanele wonke umuntu futhi lokhu kubonakale enanini labasebenzi.
Ukuqashwa okusha nje (yize sekuphele amasonto ayi-12 kuphela) ube ne-Twitter: uGeorge Hotz (Geohot). U-Elon wayehlale engumlandeli omkhulu we-Geohot esikhathini esidlule futhi, ngokusho kwe-The Verge, lesi sivumelwano sokusebenzisana sesivele siqinisekisiwe lapho umsebenzi wakhe uzogxila enjini yokusesha empofu i-Twitter okwamanje.
Kepha lokhu kuqashwa akulindelekile kukodwa njengoba uMusk emhlanganweni nabo bonke abasebenzi be-Twitter baxoxa ngezinhloso zenkampani njengoba iThe Verge ifundile: inkampani isiqede ukudilizwa emsebenzini futhi imatasa iqashela ubunjiniyela nezikhundla zokuthengisa nokuthi abasebenzi bayakhuthazwa ukuthi badlulisele phambili.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kubonakala sengathi i-Twitter (noma u-Elon Musk) unayo uhlela ukuhlanganisa ingxoxo yezwi neyevidiyo ohlelweni lokusebenza ngokwalo. Okuthile okuzohambisana nenhlebezi eseyethuliwe yokuthi imilayezo eqondile izobethelwa ngasemaphethelweni ngokwezinhloso zikaMusk. I-Verge ayigcini nje ngokubika ngalokhu kodwa iphinde isho okulandelayo okutholwe ekurekhodweni komhlangano wangaphakathi:
Ifakwe kumaslayidi esethulo anesihloko esithi "Twitter 2.0" ekomkhulu le-Twitter eSan Francisco ngoMsombuluko, uMusk utshele abasebenzi ukuthi inkampani izobhala ngemfihlo ama-DM futhi isebenzele ukwengeza izingcingo zevidiyo nezwi phakathi kwama-akhawunti.
Basebenza futhi (futhi kanzima kakhulu) e-San Francisco ukulungisa okunye ukwehluleka okudume kakhulu kwenkathi ye-Musk: I-Twitter Blue. Isheke lokuqinisekisa inkokhelo liholele ekwebiweni kwezazisi okuningi kwabantu nezinkampani, kube nemiphumela yangempela nebulalayo emabhizinisini nakulabo abalingiswa.
Ukusebenza, okuhoxiswe ngemuva nje kokuyethula futhi kwethulwa esinye isheke sokuqinisekisa esimpunga esinombhalo othi "Okusemthethweni", Izophinde ikhishwe ngoNovemba 29. njengoba iThe Verge nayo ifundile. Asazi imininingwane eminingi mayelana nokuthi lokhu kusebenza kuzokwenziwa kanjani, esikwaziyo ukuthi izoza nezilungiso ukuze ubugebengu bokweba imininingwane ebucayi bungabe busaba yinkinga ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Lokhu, futhi ngokwamahemuhemu, kungatholakala ngokuqinisekisa amakhadi asetshenziselwa ukukhokha insizakalo ka-$8, kodwa akekho othi insizakalo efana ne-Revolut ayikwazi ukusetshenziselwa ukusebenzisa amakhadi edijithali noma "abhaliwe" enza lokho kube nzima kakhulu. ukuqinisekiswa yi-Twitter.
Ngenkathi ukuzamazama komhlaba ku-Twitter kukhishwa, Abasebenzisi bafuna ezinye izindlela zokuxhumana zale nyoni. Akubona kuphela abantu abavela emhlabeni we-Apple abafana noPhil Schiller abasuse i-akhawunti yabo, kukhona nabanye abaningi abacabangela ezinye izindlela. Kuze kube manje, IMastodon isiphenduke yaba edume kakhulu kubo. Njengoba ama-akhawunti mbumbulu eyinkinga ikakhulukazi ezintathelini, i-New York Times ibika ukuthi i-Journa.host ku-Mastodon inethemba lokuba enye indlela ethembekile. I-TechCrunch, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ibika ukuthi iTumblr futhi yengeza usekelo lwe-ActivityPub, enye inkundla enikwa amandla yi-Mastodon.
