Twitter’s Turmoil May Invite Takeover Attempts - The New York Times

Could be worse... Also see What Analysts Are Saying About Twitter’s Overhaul of Its Top Ranks (WSJ)

"Add Twitter’s market meltdown — the company’s stock now trades about a third below where it went public in 2013 — and Mr. Dorsey’s creation looks vulnerable. Moreover, unlike at many tech businesses, there’s no dominant or super-voting shareholder able to block takeover attempts. Google, Facebook or a more traditional media company could perhaps be tempted to buy Twitter.

That might be a better outcome than a fate like Yahoo’s. The company squandered its moment in the sun and ended up struggling with its core businesses and looking for new ideas under a series of chief executives, the latest being Marissa Mayer. Twitter has not reached that point yet, but the possibility should focus Mr. Dorsey’s mind on the need for greater stability."
