That's too harsh. People don't go to twitter for lengthy paragraphs or op-eds. They go there for concise humor, news and generally just to find out what is happening with the world.
You're ignoring the real-time connectivity that twitter offers to the entire world. No other platform comes close.
And sometimes, this concise thought platform is not enough to share an in-depth thought. Hence, this.
My only complaint here is that this took way too long. Things must move really slow at twitter.
Both can be true. It's entirely possible that the majority of traffic is people that never read tweetstorms and also that tweetstorms are very effective for some users.
I am a daily Twitter user (the key is to find interesting people, and to block annoying people), and I doubt I have seen more than a handful of tweetstorms over 20 and certainly not more than 50.
I quit Twitter in '10 b/c of the 'social media consultants.' I recently started simply bookmarking specific accounts related to politics and propaganda. When certain Tweets get lots of comments, I read them all (up X,000s; yes, this is problem).
I'd be curious about your thoughts WRT to this thread, and the resulting 'threaded cache.'
Nope. Snapchat is almost unusable on Android right now.
Compared to instagram's stories, which loads up in an instant, Snapchat takes its own sweet time. They made the mistake of not paying enough attention to android in the beginning. And now they are trying to fix their mistake. It is a timesink; but they brought it upon themselves.
Ditto. They did a big upgrade a few months (years?) back and yet my Nexus 6P takes literally 10+ seconds before Snapchat responds to touches. It's horrendous
Delightful cause behind muscle atrophy.
Annoys me on a daily basis because I have to keep working out to maintain my shape, but makes so much sense once you see why it is the way it is.
Yeah, I meant funding, sorry for the spelling. Precisely, I meant that I am afraid Ramanujan's ideas would seem so crazy that nobody would fund his research.
Just because you don't derive utility from a product doesn't mean it's not 'real' tech. Twitter is basically the news medium for me and most of my friends at school. I cannot remember the last time I went to read a news article from a site other than (mostly) twitter.
