Used it cause I was excited (are you still an early adopter a full year after the SXSW explosion of use?), then didn't for a few months cause I didn't really see the point, now I'm usin it again cause I've had some new local friends start following me.

Good for questions, link-sharing, Microemo bursts, etc.

I have a friend who uses this to read his friends' feeds, so I basically only see it from the angle of a person who is constantly checking his phone while I'm trying to have a conversation with him. The first time I heard of Twitter was from him when I finally got exasperated with his constantly checking his phone.

Maybe I'm the one with the problem, but I can't really think of anyone in the world interesting enough for me to want updates on their activities throughout the day. I'd say the only people I could imagine wanting to twitter could be: Drug smuggler, violent prison inmate, Slash-in-his-heyday type rock star, and a dog (if they somehow managed to translate its thoughts into English text).

don't use it, don't know anyone who does, but i check this one all the time: http://twitter.com/MarsPhoenix

i very very rarely check it on my phone. does mobile use seem to be the prominent use?

SMS functionality seems to be its USP now that Facebook status updates have taken the mainstream microblogging space.

As I said above, people using it for pushed news bulletins and question-broadcasting rather than personal what-i'm-doing stuff is another application.

(I think you can now do Facebook by SMS in America, actually, but not here)

SMS is a fucking trilobite technology

I followed @johncleese back when his followers were in the double digits.

Seriously someone FedEx me a fucking medal already.

how the fuck are they planning to make money? Also, they could easily have charged for this in Europe, and at least started making some actual income for a change.

so: brightkite, then. anyone played about with it much? i'm not sure i can particularly be arsed, TBH.

Twinkle is useful to see if there's trouble on my tram line or the local cafe is on fire.

ON IPHONE

Brightkite seems particularly marvelous, actually. Like Twitter with upgrades.

mildly diverting for a bit

http://joshblog.net/projects/roktok/roktok.html

well, it would be if only folk would stop talking about coldplay and radiohead

oh

it combines the top artists from last.fm (coldplay, radiohead) with twitter

no potential to divert at all now

free speech baby

Ken Klippenstein posts reported Vance dossier. Twitter quickly suspends his account pic.twitter.com/Bj6Gcbfqzx

— Sam Stein (@samstein) September 26, 2024

dossier here https://kenklippenstein.com/p/read-the-jd-vance-dossier

All seems to point to him as being the most craven opportunist in politics, bouncing from learn to code liberal to Josh Hawley nationalist to Dark Enlightenment culture war fascist depending on where he thinks he has an in.

lol not a bad way to eat a Twitter ban

fuck Elon for this though, if one of his pet accounts published a bunch of docs about Walz I'm sure he would be back to championing free speech again

he's not a champion of free speech
he's a racist, a transphobe and a fascist

sorry I was doing the air quotes thing when I typed that

anyway apparently what Ken actually did violate the OLD ToS, which Elon changed specifically so the Hunter Biden laptop stuff could all be published there, so once again it's just him being a partisan hack

lol

All you assholes running to me about the Ken issue seem to have forgotten that I’ve been suppressed on this platform for over a year, and all Substack writers are deamplified here — I’m not sure what point you think you’re making.

so you can't post the link to the JD Vance dossier because it flags it as "harmful material", but if you add a single URL param to it you can, real tight ship they're running here

Just received email from wapo on the leaked Vance comments on Trump

xp like &elon=sucks

the entire vance dossier is incredibly weak imo, for the most part it's just "he said this thing that might contradict our current platform, or he dislike(s/d) Trump. also, he went to an expensive school, has a bunch of assets, and got a speeding ticket one time

Well, they did pick him after putting together the dossier.

Odd that they missed the couch fucking

they missed his whole association with the weirdo online right, his college blog, really not great work
