Microsoft And Linux Hold Peace Tweets
Okay, it’s not exactly the Camp David Summit that took place in 2000 between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but sometimes the littlest gestures can go a long way. A couple of days ago, upon hearing that Microsoft had officially joined Twitter , the official Linux account sent out a tweet welcoming them. “ Welcome to Twitter, @ Microsoft !,” they said. The tweet sat unanswered for over a day, and it seemed like Microsoft may never answer. But about a few hours ago, they did . “ @ Linux thanks, nice to be here,” they replied. Short, sweet, and to the point. A sign of peace in the operating system ecosystem ? Probably not . But it’s something — just look at the shirts that were going around in this war just a few years ago (above). Twitter is turning into quite the sanctuary for rivals to at least pretend to be nice to each other. Just look at Coke and Pepsi the other day .
