New Twitter CEO Dick Costolo has denied suggestions that his promotion to the role earlier this week is a sign that the microblogging startup is looking to sell out. “No, I am not prepping Twitter for a sale,” he tells the Telegraph. “There really is no distinction between the way [Twitter founder] Ev and I think about the company.
