Twisted Tuesday. It’s a big twist today SOHH why not get things started with Twitter having to unfollow workers – literally? Speaking of social media, did Iggy Azalea have to crush a Rita Ora dream? Speaking of dreams, do you want some free passes to see the new “Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension” movie? All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
1. Game Changer
Is Twitter still the dominant force we all remember it to be? There was one a time when it reigned supreme but now there’s everything from Instagram to Periscope and Snapchat. Turns out the company has made some serious decisions. NBC News is on it:
Made some tough but necessary decisions that enable Twitter to move with greater focus and reinvest in our growth. http://t.co/BWd7EiGAF2

The social-media company is planning to lay off up to 8 percent of its employees, with the deepest job cuts in the product and engineering teams. Up to 336 employees globally will lose their jobs, Twitter said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Tuesday morning. Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, who was named the company’s permanent CEO last week, tweeted a link to a letter he sent to employees. (NBC News)
Does this change your perspective of Twitter? Is this a necessary change to make the company stronger? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Watch Your Mouth
There isn’t any bad blood but there’s definitely some tensions going on between Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea. Just when Rita talked about wanting to do a dream collabo with Iggy, things were shut down pretty fast. The Shade Room Inc. is on it:
Any reason to be concerned or did Iggy just clear the air? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
