Linked to the appropriately sarcastic Valleywag. Twitter is going public, though I have to say I’m not exactly thrilled with some of the players involved.
Still, we knew it would happen eventually, so I guess this is the time. I actually think they’ll do pretty decently since expectations are different, and they have a lot more love than Facebook.

Remember that idea that 2015 would be a big movie meltdown? Sounds like others may be taking it seriously as the next PoTC film is being pushed back to 2016. Of course if every film flees 2015 that could produce a kind of implosion.
Either way, we progeeks should be looking to take advantage of what is hopefully a well-needed shakeup.

And apparently J.K. Rowling is writing a script for the film. It’s going to be based on the textbook “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them,” which isn’t a half-bad idea, though I do sense a bit of dead-horse kinetic application here. I also sense that the title is very appealing in the wake of “How To Train Your Dragon.”
So I guess Harry Potter’s world is back . . .
Interesting to see where this goes – because it may also give ideas to other franchises or push them out of the way.
