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.

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.

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

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.
