Twitter has annual revenue of $1.4 billion. You really can&#x27;t figure out how to be profitable on that?<p>That seems to signal a lack of creativity. Twitter has nearly 4,000 employees—there is simply no way you need that many employees to run their core services.<p>Twitter has already done some layoffs, but they could stand to do plenty more. They really don&#x27;t need more than 1,000 employees.<p>The company was built with the idea that it&#x27;d be the next Facebook but there doesn&#x27;t seem to be any path to that happening. They need to accept their market position and optimize on profiting from it. Fortunately, unlike Facebook, their core user experience is <i>much</i> simpler and should require way fewer engineers.
