Twitter CFO Mistakenly Tweets About Deal: ‘I Have a Plan’
Correctly using Twitter has tripped up one of the company’s top executives.
Chief Financial Officer Anthony Noto yesterday publicly tweeted about a plan he has to buy a company, including how he wanted to help make the deal happen at a meeting in mid-December. The message was posted on the microblogging service before it was deleted, with Twitter spokesman Jim Prosser confirming that Noto was trying to send the message privately.
“I still think we should buy them,” Mr. Noto tweeted. “He is on your schedule for Dec 15 or 16 — we will need to sell him. I have a plan.”
