my only use for twitter is squatting on my government name, hope one of the hundreds of other people w/ my name gets real big and wants my name

Hadn't encountered Stack Exchange before - is this like Quora but better?
― Pisle of dogs (seandalai), Thursday, 24 February 2011 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link
i love rss, although i get pissed off by feeds that are truncated/delayed.
twitter is cool if i'm extraordinarily bored and have read everything in my reader, which is not often.

Oh yeah and the other reason I like reading articles through rss is that once I scroll past the last paragraph I get to read another article, not a bunch of commenting fuckwits.

I got out of the RSS game like 5 years ago, it was such a timesink
ILX is my RSS feed these days
which brings up the idea of intelligent gatekeepers, I know google is working on this via personalizing your searches, but has any company made real headway in this direction

stack exchange is more for technical advice on particular topics - like they have all these diff dedicated verticals wordpress, math, bicycles http://stackexchange.com/sites

Twitter seems to fill that same niche that irc did (even down to the hostile jargon) -- irc was even used to get word out in 89 iirc. I miss it now it has been abandoned to the dweebs and pirates. Same thing could def happen to twitter, but the principle of having a way to read short updates and have fleeting conversations w/strangers will stick around.
Don't think I have enough points to read stackexchange yet. I still need to connect it to my oauth endpoint and then vote on fourteen tag submissions before I can get access to the secondary comment review facility which will let me amass enough points to read edit notes on questions that have more than seven up votes.

hahaha :) No it wasnt you. (I'm memorygongs if anyone wants to hook me up but I p much never post, so)
Man I used to LIVE on irc back in the day - I was a chanOp on #melbourne and #gothic on oz.org server and I could run both those and priv chat windows all at once somehow.
I went back on there a while back and it was a ghost town, same old saddos still logged in but no one saying anything - and if even 2 chats would open I couldn't keep up, and I have no idea how I managed to in the past.

i have a bad perspective on all this stuff b/c i kind of HAVE to use both twitter and google reader for work. so far for me twitter is basically only good for breaking news, but its GREAT for that, it feels like an old-school news ticker, which is maybe why "media people" love it so much. (and that in turn is why hype hype hype)
i dont think itll change the world (i dont really even understand HOW its supposed to have like caused a revolution? like the mechanics of twitter being a political tool are foreign to me. people retweet slogans?) but i think it or something like it will always exist, if only as a tool for news junkies/reporters. (also for palinesque media-hating pols & celebs)
(also seems worth pointing out that i didnt really like twitter until had a couple hundred followers and all of a sudden people were actually reading/RTing/replying to me with some frequency. & my guess is that most people who are hyping twitter are in the same boat, and dont see how boring it can be if no one is paying attention to you)

i have over literally 100 followers - i havent really been into using it for two way communication - i like it more or less for syndication purposes - in fact when im checking out someones feed to see if i want to follow them and its all @ replies and RTs im like naaah - im in it for the links mostly - although recently i seem to have started following a lot of i dont know what to call them 'mentally ill twitter comedians' - like people who say v strange abstract things that structurally look like jokes but dont really make any sense - also it made me realize thats kinda what my tweets look like :/

I pretty much stopped reading twitter entirely. idk. I mean it's not that I don't get it or anything but I guess I found it kind of annoying. Too much crap to follow. Maybe I should try again.

Only reason I am even on twitter is due to a couple people I know who basically dont use anything else, and their tweets are locked, so its that or I never hear from them. Which is ridiculous of course.

well plz present some rationale for the entire up until this point internet narrative of creative destruction and inovation to turn 180 to a static corporate controlled futurescape - something better than 'people seem to like mobile apps' and 'google results are not the best' - i mean you know corporate interests wouldve loved to control this thing from the beginning - instead we got the unraveling of the music, print, and advertising worlds and the rise of huge new technology companies more interested in facilitating peoples internet experience than controlling the content of it― ice cr?m, Thursday, February 24, 2011 12:01 AM (22 hours ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
