Twitter C/D

i hate lists and have a second twitter account that's just to follow art collectives and music labels and stuff

it's like my professional account, if my profession was following fashion/music/deep thoughts

[thinks deeply]

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 :/

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

twitter + too many tabs + delete the tabs w/o reading = google reader

no way i read a ton more! the rss era was great, fu @jack

I read almost all tweets. Follow 740.

i close all tabs and use Pinboard now it's working out so far

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

need to do this

update: my tweet's got a second win... at this rate may outpace other tweet in hours

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

ya it just showed up in my tl again via adam h johnson

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

idk like celebrities? most arent that good at twitter but a few are, my feed is prob like 90% journalists and normal folk

what about famous/celebrity journalists

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

i support real artists

expert twitterer moves

reach in hand, pull out fish

fl0pson i regret ot inform you that no t only is everybody stealing your tweet but theyre all doing better numbers than you https://twitter.com/cushbomb/status/775113931291496448

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.

no one is gonna do one with the cheney naked woman sunglasses?

whoops this was in the wrong thread

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")

I just use it for local sports stuff + George Wallace dad jokes

oh and DA SHARE ZONE

I only started using it like a year ago

AA if you are following 6 friends and a bunch of brands you are Using Twitter Wrong fyi

i just wrote a lengthy paragraph which essentially meant "i'm not committed enough to work on it" so am going with that instead

(when i was Using Twitter Right i hated it enough to give up so)

stole a picture from another account that they no doubt stole from somewhere else and so forth and its getting RTs im the fat jew now (didnt RT cause it had a dum caption)

going to tweet pictures of flopson and lag∞n instead of dril and hil as a response

unbelievable

Is Twitter only viewable to members now? I haven't been able to load any page of it for a few days now.

I just set up a new account for the hell of it, ilxmail me if you want a free follower

or post your handle here if you don't care

mine is @kanyewest

Nice, I'm @propertybrothers, followed you
