Today's Story Highlights

Twitter Takes It on the Chin
Twitter's stock took a hit when investors got an early look at first
quarter earnings, leaked just ahead of closing time on Tuesday, ahead of
the company's Wednesday announcement. Shares plummeted about 18 percent
from Tuesday's opening price of $51.84. The slide continued on
Wednesday, with the loss of a couple more percentage points, and the
share price hovered near that level through Thursday.

Salesforce Jumps Into HR
I recently praised Salesforce for having the smarts to not get into
enterprise resource planning several years ago. It was a good decision,
I thought, because there was no upside for them to invade such a well-
established market -- better for them to focus on a blue ocean strategy
in which they went after new applications. I think the market's
evolution has proven the wisdom of that approach.

Is Comcast, TWC Dead or Just Sleeping?
Now that the Comcast, Time Warner Cable merger deal has failed, what's
next? I think it's likely that if Time Warner Cable is still around, the
deal might be tried once again in a few years after the industry has
transformed itself. Comcast obviously is still interested in expanding
with Time Warner Cable and will try this merger dance again in a few
years. This has worked before.
