Twitter C/D

genuinely curious why you think fb would be interested in acquiring twtr

to stop Google doing so?

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

Wonder how low the stock will go. It's been quite a long slide to nowhere

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

i think a read more feature is kinda fine idk

the real hedz will keep it short anyway

i tried to make a poll about my 2016 style but both my options were considerably longer than the max character limit so now im all in favor of this change

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.

itll just be a lil link prob

click to read why read longer is bad

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

wonder if twitter will provide stats on how many opens those get

never thought of that before

i use tweetdeck to run @hoosteen, an account for my house, and 2 work-related accounts

i'll be so fucked when twitter decides they want to start improving tweetdeck

Twitter down?

back now

Thanks - need my hot takes for the day.

I can't change my facial hair into a sandstorm :/

i came to the same conclusion :\

But you can’t steal something that isn’t owned. You have to own something for it to be able to be stolen.

Yeah, that’s a fair point. But I feel like the skinning of a game is really important. Brenda Romero designed a game that was about the Holocaust, right, and the same set of rules could just be Candyland, and that’s the way we think about it too. It’s not supposed to be about people, but about these representations of them as cards and you’re collecting them because you like them, not because you want to own this person.

$twtr has lost 67% of its value in the past 8 months. Their burn rate is reportedly $3M a day with no chance of seeing profit in the near or distant future.

#techbubble

nice

I'll miss it when it's gone, I suppose

maybe not

twitter not gonna die, they cld be profitable tomorrow if they just gave up trying to grow to facebook size

even if they go bankrupt someone will buy the service and keep it going too many user to fail

now on the other hand if they start losing users

why would anybody buy a service that doesn't make money
