But the question remains: Who will be hired as the company's next full-time CEO?
We won't know until a selection committee is formed and it makes a formal decision. But Twitter users have already begun voicing their opinions.
And, for many, diversity is key.
With that, a bevy of users have begun tweeting their support for a woman to take the helm of the company.
Here are some examples:
Twitter needs a female CEO.

I hope that the next Twitter CEO is a woman who actually uses the platform.

Twitter's new CEO search committed is made up of three men. Perhaps the first search should be to diversify that committee.

Someone named Peter 2X more likely to be on @Twitter CEO search committee than a woman.
