The former CEO of Feedburner, Dick Costolo, is to become Twitter’s new COO, according to TechCrunch. Feedburner was sold to Google for $100 million in 2007 and Costolo left Google in July 2009.
Costolo was an early investor in Twitter and has experience in infrastructure, something that Twitter needs as it still suffers from a higher amount of downtime than its competitors. Costolo may also help Twitter develop new features, something that it has not done in quite some time.
