答案可以“我的名字是什么”，1993年前十大命中窥探狗狗那be “the next Twitter CEO”? Probably not — though Snoop has signaled that he wouldn’t mind. The rap superstar, whose legal name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has not only thrown his hat into the ring to turn the social media network around, he’s laid out his strategy to improve its bottom line.
“我已经准备好领先@Twitter !!”窥探，43，，6月11日推文在新闻中断后，Dick Costolo担任旧金山的公司首席执行官辞球。窥探的行动计划？“第一阶的业务，得到那个moolah！”他在后续帖子中写道。虽然Twitter的C-Suite尚未延长欢迎，但他对公司管理的验证很快就会引发几个哈希特拉格，#snoopforceo.and#ifsnoopwastwitterceo.。
在第一个腮红窥探中可能看起来像一个新颖的候选人，但更新者，也许是因为他的大麻用作他的音乐而庆祝的，有基层媒体支持和商业救济。他在Twitter账户中积累了1240万追随者@snoopdogg.拥有100多万用户到他的YouTube频道，GGN（双G新闻网络），总共有43100万次观看。
Snoop, who’s worth an estimated $135 million, has invested inno-fee online brokerage Robinhoodand social news site Reddit, where he’s an active participant. The hip-hop titan has also put his money where his mouth is, so to speak. His Delaware-incorporated, Los Angeles–based Casa Verde Capital joined a $10 million funding round for Eaze Solutions, a California medical marijuana delivery service. Snoop is reportedly raising a separate $25 million to back start-ups for digital distribution of pot.
For his part, Costolo, who left his post on July 1 but remains a Twitter director, saw his stake in the company rise in value by $11.2 million — bolstering his $400 million-plus fortune — as Twitter’s shares shot up 8 percent the day he announced his departure.
也许那些额外的Benjamins表示，已经看到投资者的坍落度结束了，因为它是热的，它是炎热的，以释放2006年的窥探粉碎。在达斯托洛出口的年度，该公司的股票在广告销售和销售中持久的销售和问题中，其价值大约是其价值的大约30％。一个问题是Twitter的年龄：它的用户群在其首次公开发布之前得多得多。具有讽刺意味的是，推进技术也没有帮助。超过四分之三的Twitter的30200万活跃用户通过移动设备访问它，不会促进推文和桌面机器的散发和中心。
Twitter was once the ultimate social media darling. The service, which launched in 2006 as a way to transmit SMS musings over the Internet — hence the 140-character limit on posts — had 200 million followers before it went public seven years later, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
2013年11月7日,Twitter开始交易New York Stock Exchange rather than the tech-heavy Nasdaq Stock Market, where Facebook had made its shaky debut in May 2012. After initially pricing at $24, Twitter closed its first day of trading at $44.90. As of this July its market cap stood at about $23 billion; revenue for the first quarter totaled $436 million, up 74 percent year-over-year but well short of consensus forecasts of $456 million. During that same period the company posted a net loss of $162.4 million, versus $132.3 million for the first three months of 2014.
Costolo’s announcement failed to thrill investors over the longer term, at least judging from Twitter’s share price, which has since remained largely flat, closing at $34.36 on July 9. Co-founder Jack Dorsey, who is also co-founder and CEO of Square, a mobile payment company based in San Francisco, has stepped in as chief executive. In a June 20 announcement, Twitter stated that a new boss would have to make a “full-time commitment” to the business. “In our next CEO, we are looking for a bold thinker and proven leader capable of helping Twitter fully capitalize on its unique platform for the benefit of users, advertisers and employees and to maximize value for investors in the years ahead,” said director Peter Currie, head of the search committee.
鉴于他的音乐职业生涯的要求，Snoop Dogg可能不会使Twitter的简短列表。不过，另一家硅谷公司对他表示了浊音。“在最低的窥探中应该是审计委员会的主席，”在线存储提供商盒首席执行官Aaron Levie - 在1月份有自己的IPO -发布回应to the Doggfather’s expression of interest in the top job. Snoop seemed more than happy with the idea. “I know who to hit up next,” he posted. “I’m all about that cloud!”
