a large part of their valuation is based on the idea that they cld become facebook sized, but if their stock drops low enough that cld justify giving up on the world domination project and instead just trying to maintain twitter and make it good

would it surprise anyone to learn that the writer of that article was harassed overnight for writing it
[seriously nsfw image here: https://twitter.com/holly/status/688034893536858112 ]
the app has been pulled, and now gamergaters/breitbart and the like are attacking the writer as a 'censor' and defending the app. this shit is like clockwork.

probably exists but: a little auction app. for example:
you put your apartment on craigslist, get multiple offers, some of whom are offering above asking price. emailing back and forth and coordinating multiple offers is cumbersome, and you want to get it done asap but you also want to extract as much surplus as possible.
using the app, you could invite all offers to an auction. you choose the type; english, dutch, blind, first-bid or second-bid, etc depending on what outcome you want. the app could come with a little tutorial on which auction type to use in which situations. the offerers get a time and place, or a deadline to submit sealed bids, along with instructions.
