Tweets: @dickc , @jstrauss , @joshk , and @wexboy_value Tweets: Dick Costolo / @dickc : Great to see @jgsilverman get recognition here for the work he is doing as Etsy CEO. Wonderful human being who has quietly done a remarkable job in a relatively short period of time https://fortune.com/...

Josh Kopelman / @joshk : Turnarounds are hard. Especially in a community driven marketplaces with different constituencies. What @jgsilverman did at @Etsy is so impressive - and I'm glad to see it getting more attention. https://fortune.com/...
