    2/ I'm joining Apple to work on @AppStore and help customers discover the best apps for them.

    1/ Some personal news...

    10/ I recently found my college resume. My career objective was “To create great technology that changes people's lives”. Still at it :)

    Think about how many DMs went around today saying “wait is Apple going to be cool now?” https://twitter.com/...

    First met Josh when I was 18 in SF. I was trying to get Josh to hire me @GreylockVC. I remember getting 20+ people to say nice things about me to him. He respected the hustle & has been a friend & advisor ever since. A great day for Apple and iOS devs. Josh is special. https://tw…

    Good luck @joshelman ! App Discovery has been my life for 6 years and there is much to do (in particular search) One egoistic request: Do something about crypto apps. They are under-considered by Apple. Never featured and do not earn the editorial labels other categories have htt…

    Apple's app store is going to be re-organized by a big new hire: @joshelman, who among many, many other things was one of the first great minds behind Twitter's people search. Twitter search is world-changing awesomeness. Excited to see what this means! https://www.techmeme.com/.…

    This will have big ramifications. Josh Elman heading app discovery for iOS App Store. 🚀 My request: remember to think about parents (choosing apps for kids < 13yo). https://twitter.com/...

    @RobGlaser On this first day it had me thinking back to my first at RealNetworks 23 years ago. Thank you for that and all that I learned there 🙏🏽
  • @ev @ev on x
    Thanks for your help and support along the way, @joshelman. Best of luck at the spaceship! 📱🛸🙏 https://twitter.com/...

    @bencasnocha potential narrative violation: @JoshElman disappears from all social media; does top secret work for Apple for 3 years; resurfaces after complete overhaul of App Store. (unlikely, but again this is Apple... 👀😱🙈🙉 🙊)
  • @nbashaw Nathan Baschez on x
    I am extremely pumped about this Congrats to Josh! This, combined with Apple's recent fee cut, show they may have had a wake-up call in 2020 regarding developer relations https://twitter.com/...
  • @plibin Phil Libin on x
    Very cool! The @AppStore was one of the most important advances of the modern software industry. Excited to see how @joshelman can help make it even more impactful. https://twitter.com/...
  • @shaanvp Shaan Puri on x
    Josh is awesome and is an awesome example of someone who crushes it in tech as a “joiner” rather than a “starter”. Less talked about, but amazing to see it pulled off! https://twitter.com/...
  • @bencasnocha Ben Casnocha on x
    Apple exists in its own orbit in Silicon Valley. I know people ultra well connected in startups and to all the big tech companies...except Apple. Apple is kind of its own, self-contained network. Josh, a consummate connector, will bridge this gap for many. Congrats! https://twitt…
  • @briannorgard Norgard on x
    Huge hire for Apple of @joshelman. Bringing cool back to the AppStore. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
  • @saranormous Sarah Guo on x
    Yay! Such great news for the ecosystem. 🎉🎉 https://twitter.com/...
  • @scobleizer Robert Scoble on x
    @OurielOhayon @joshelman Apple is protecting ApplePay. Understandable.
  • @joshelman @joshelman on x
    6/ Thank you @ev for the chance to partner on @medium as you work to build the platform for ideas to spread and deepen everyone's understanding of the world.

    The App Store has soooo much untapped potential. Great news for Apple and the tech ecosystem. 👇🏼 https://twitter.com/...
