Explosion in the number of followers of his replacement
The co-founder of Twitter was criticized in particular for continuing to manage his other company, Square, a mobile payment system, alongside the social network.
Just like its failure to monetize the Twitter audience, a far cry from the advertising revenue that Facebook manages to generate, for example.
It is Parag Agrawal, hitherto director of new technologies at Twitter, who will replace Jack Dorsey as general manager of the social network.
The man is described as "sharp, curious, rational, creative and humble" by his now ex-boss.
Parag Agrawal saw his number of followers on Twitter surge after the announcement of his new post: It went from 24,000 followers to more than 200,000 in less than 24 hours.
