A Twitter meltdown and Tinder CEO fired

There was a time when CEOs used to be older, more polished, and hopefully smart men. But all of that has changed in the digital age. The CEO's are still mostly male but they are much younger and lets just say, not quite as sophisticated as their older counterparts. Tinder, the dating app for those who may be still living in the age of dinosaurs, was so upset with a story by Vanity Fair, criticizing the dating site that someone from Tinder went on a rampage.  There ere thirty tweets posted in less than an hour in response to the article entitled  "Tinder and the Dawn of the Dating Apocalypse" Now we don't know for sure if the Twitter meltdown had anything to do with the CEO Chris Payne or his removal from the position. However, just a few days after the Twitter rant, the CEO has been replaced. According to Tinder director Matt Cohler, it was a greed that it was agreed mutually, that it wasn't the right long term fit.
