SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Along with other giant Silicon Valley tech companies, Twitter has been  often criticized for the lack of diversity in its work force. The San Francisco-based social networking service has had a dismal record of hiring and promoting women and people of color.

In a major year-end move to deal with the issue, Twitter announced that it has named a new vice president of diversity and inclusion, Jeffrey Siminoff. White, male.

A very novel and high-risk approach indeed!
