Twitter C/D

that would make sense:

A) if this account had relationships. it has one, a defunct company from 2 years ago.

B) if the email used to access this person's acct was active at my time of joining twitter. the email address that I imagine used to open the account is also defunct (as the acct mentions he is a scientist at the aforementioned defunct company).

seeing how A & B are both false, I think both my scenarios upthread present the best and worst.

Suffice it to say I would be surprised to see you proven correct.

Plainly I don't know how they're doing it in the cases we've outlined here, but I just don't see them making regular database breach a part of their standard operating procedure.

Well at any rate, one of my teammates recently left his post as a VP at twitter and we're all meeting this weekend. Maybe I'll get some off the record answers after a few beers.

Plz tell me you team wakeboard w/dude.

plz post otr answers

The email address I used to sign up to twitter is a new one, created just for this purpose. It is not linked to my name, to my identity, and yada yada yada all-of-the-above, I still get these recommendations.

You know what's weird? Near exact same thing w/ facebook. After I deleted my account, I booted up a skeleton account some months later just out of necessity - "like this to _____" - using a different email. It's recommending me people I fucking know! And it's a Gmail account.

Facebook are super creepy about this, though. Like, they'll recommend people who have used the same computer as you.

Wow. Yeah, I'm not one to believe privacy is an utterly sacred thing but some of this stuff vibes borderline illegal to me. What if advertisers contracted w/ Visa to keep track of what you're buying in order to advertise to you better? I'd be all for a fucking lawsuit.

hmm okay

The "Who to follow" section is making me ragey. More like "Who to throw down a well, so they'll never be heard from again" amirite.

Does anyone know if it's possible to do a hard return/paragraph break/carriage return on Twitter?
i.e. I want to write something in list form, so that it appears as (for example):

1. Jordy - "Dur dur d'être Bébé!"
2. Eleven Chalupas
3. "Maybe Did a Animal Help Do 9/11" by Dr. Pahl T.T. Buuseh

Rather than:

1. Jordy - "Dur dur d'être Bébé!" 2. Eleven Chalupas 3. "Maybe Did a Animal Help Do 9/11" by Dr. Pahl T.T. Buuseh

Is that do-able?

Hold "shift" down when pressing return.

I don't think that your tweet will replicate the line breaks when posted. Not sure that this is possible.

Yeah it does. Some clients display the carriage returns, some don't.

Interesting. Is it similarly possible to get other text effects (for example bold, underline, strikethrough)? Do you happen to know what browsers support it?

No rich text. All I know is some Twitter apps display line breaks. YoruFukurou (mac) does.

Hmm... thanks. I don't Tweet using any apps; I just do it on my desktop using Firefox, and it doesn't seem to work there. I have seen posts in my feed from other people with the line breaks, who must be using something app-y to post. Thanks for the tips!

Well, that's what I was saying. I use IE, and "Shift Return" does not terminate the message but inserts a line feed.

gah when someone asks "can i dm" and i say "yes" i expect either a work offer or a succinct point not your life fucking story across, so far, seven DMs

stupid me, never be nice, to anyone, ever

When someone asks me "can I DM" I expect to be told that I am facing a pack of irate kobolds and must roll the d12, personally

(someone had to do it)
