Twitter Files For Drone Patent; Absurdity Continues

Dr. Fly Tue Dec 22, 2015 9:41am EST 13 Comments

CNBC reported that Twitter filed for a patent for a drone. According to the company, this drone could be controlled by users.

Why?

How?

Imagine yourself in NYC, fighting with 5 million people to control a fucking drone with your phone.

When asked to comment on this fuckery, the company replied, rather smugly, “Drone Selfies.”

Can someone tell these fuckheads the stock is at new lows, the balance sheet looks like shambles, and this so called drone isn’t going to do anything but piss people off?

As an aside, Twitter drones might be rather useful for the lads in ISIS.

    General Mills is in the process of making a social media site that will crush Twitter.

        Note that FB was profitable at $19. TWTR is barely cash flow positive and sports a $16 billion valuation.

    could be useful for periscope, kind of like having your own cameraman for live broadcasting.

    Some politicians, and some companies, just exist for comedy purposes.

    OTOH, maybe Twitter is planning to join the military industrial complex, for all we know.

      Nah. They’re already made their bed with the pageview industrial complex.

      My 2016 prediction is that Jack will mismanage $TWTR into insolvency by the end of the year, full Marissa.
