embrace the cascade

there are too many tweets to read them all

I don't follow enough ppl I guess!
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:25 (seven years ago) link
follow at least 700 imo
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:26 (seven years ago) link
ive prob said this on here before but one thing that made twitter way better for me was i unfollowed almost all organizations and now mostly only follow actual people
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:27 (seven years ago) link
i hate lists and have a second twitter account that's just to follow art collectives and music labels and stuff
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:29 (seven years ago) link
it's like my professional account, if my profession was following fashion/music/deep thoughts

now that i think abt it i use twitter for personal/joke/weirdo type stuff and simultaneously as a journo/political replacement for google reader. there's a lot of crossover but hmm
i have a feedly account and i never look at it :/
― goole, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:32 (seven years ago) link
yeah I have a subscription to some google reader replacement thing and never look at that, either. idk if the moment for aggregation like that has passed because of twitter or what
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:33 (seven years ago) link
twitter + too many tabs + delete the tabs w/o reading = google reader
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:35 (seven years ago) link
no way i read a ton more! the rss era was great, fu @jack
― goole, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:36 (seven years ago) link
I read almost all tweets. Follow 740.
― Jeff, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:38 (seven years ago) link

need to do this
update: my tweet's got a second win... at this rate may outpace other tweet in hours
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:39 (seven years ago) link
this universal acknowledgment that nobody reads links combined with people trying to write blog posts through a series of numbered tweets (you know they're going to be good when someone drafts nothing and starts with 1/X) is really the worst

i strongly believe that 90% of text on internet shouldn't be written in full paragraphs prose form but are better expressed as just like, idk pullet points, like it's so annoying to read writer-ing over and over again, so tweetstorm is a welcome step towards that tho obviously really impractical and terrible in a lot of other ways

best iOS 10 feature is auto-expanding tweets if you message the url to someone
so many times wanted to bother non-twitter users w/tweets but you know they're not going to click on a url and taking a screenshot and sending is so bad

unfortunately it looks like flopson has a long way to go to catch up to the tweet stealer

Isn't he violating twittiiquette by not doing it as a retweet or something? I find Twitter illegible so I'm not sure if I'm reading this right. Twitter is really like my rubicon whereby I cross into being an Internet old man.

Southern Brooklyn, maybe Eastern Queens. I think Trump is popular with the Russians in my neighborhood too.

deleted my account last year (?) and haven't missed it at all. i do have an account sitting there, and i'm following maybe six friends and some ~brands~, but nothing compels me to open it any more unless i want to search for something that's happening (tram crash, smoke erupting from the next block etc), but even then it's just a wall of guesswork/hot takes from randoms and unrelated spam ("The Top 10 iPhone 7 Problems shittyurl.com/kwjbsf #iphone #pneumoniagate #kanye #paralympics #tramcrash #obama")
