But then you miss those ppl who are excellent curators of RT's.

5. A lot of Twitter’s recent moves seem like dude-fussing.Are you familiar with dude-fussing? It’s when you go camping and someone feels a primal need to poke at the fire every 30 seconds. Or when someone is barbecuing and they cant just leave the fucking burgers alone.These actions don’t have any real effect. But they are fussy and make a great show of effort at doing something to make it all better.See also: Polls. Moments.

The only answer, which I don’t think is feasible, is to say, ‘You know what, we’re going to be the best damn 300 million-monthly-active-user service we think we can be,’
What a wasteland

Hopefully there will be a replacement for twitter when it crashes or is so sold to f/book.

idk, assume acquired by whoever is going to be its fate.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 21:40 (eight years ago) link
feel like they'd just get the most important devs and found another startup, the decent ones would go to other tech companies like snapchat or something, and yeah, the rest, who knows
― F♯ A♯ (∞), Tuesday, 5 January 2016 22:04 (eight years ago) link
The 10K thing seems like something I could live with as long as your feed is just the 140 character tweets with a link for more. I could just unfollow those that can't get everything in to 140 characters.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 22:17 (eight years ago) link
to stop Google doing so?
― nashwan, Tuesday, 5 January 2016 22:28 (eight years ago) link
fair point. google's acquisition spree(?) goes under the radar. they'd be up to no good with twtr. if goog could die off it'd be a fine time for the web

ugh - 140 chracters = its about energy and concentration of content. I always feel I'll be there for an hour and it never happens.

Will be interesting to see how apps will implement it. I'm sure it will make the Twitter homepage even more unusable than it already is. You should never use it anyway.

I think the best possible outcome is ignoring one retweet from someone you follow instead of a series of fifty because they found some numbered story worthy of retweeting
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 18:59 (eight years ago) link
