Ah, I see that Trump has been riled up over the Carrier criticism. And usually he's so reserved! -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 07:16 1

The fact that there is an explosion of "Twitter threads" tells me that it's a suboptimal medium - Reagen Dec 8, 07:14 11
- Is it the medium that is sub-optimal, or the readers, or the way we live these days? - Roger More Dec 8, 07:23
- Yes and no. Sure, people could write blog posts instead of Twitter threads, but would anyone see those blog posts? -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 07:16 8
  - perhaps some form of hypertext link could be invented to allow people to find the blog! -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 07:18 7
    - From personal experience, I can tell you I hate it when a tweet starts out: "So about the Carrier tweet, I think we need to remember [hyperlink]" - ty97 Dec 8, 07:21 6
      - I freely admit that twitter baffles me. I read tweets and it looks like a different language. - Mel Profit Dec 8, 07:28 2

        It's a curious platform, because it is literally a different experience for everyone. - Beryllium Dec 8, 07:36
      - me, i've dumped so many people from my lists for endless tweetstorms....nm - x Dec 8, 07:24 2
        
        I am fine if they thread them, like this guy did. Then I can choose to engage (or not) - ty97 Dec 8, 07:44 1
        
        yeah. tho i tend not to read those either...nm - x Dec 8, 07:47
- It still demonstrates why Twitter is better than Facebook. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 07:15
