GE writes a massive amount of software. Not just for their hardware products, but all sorts of other stuff that most folks won’t ever run across.

It’s a mess of a company for sure, but just because their software isn’t common on the web, I’d still classify them as a tech company.

I think of Twitter as a media outlet. They don’t directly employ news writers, but just about all media flows through Twitter in some form or fashion. They’re intrinsically linked to the media landscape.
