Twitter C/D

did twitter just break for anyone else? showing up as a page with a column of text down the left side, won't let me sign out

we're on other twitter

I'm on twooter

infiltrated by chinese hackers

i only post to weird twitter

just to go back to the story up thread lol you cannot "trace an IP" to someone's address. Internet do not work that way! if you took that IP to the ISP that supplied it with a warrant? they may then hand over user info. but it's not like fucking Hackers or CSI.

Yeah, he's definitely glossing over something there. Maybe he doxxed them

He was getting trolled off Twitter as well, though, in places where you can trace IP addresses. Then you could cross-match them with other non-troll incoming IP addresses, such as friendly communications from his friend, the troll's dad.

Does anyone know if the Twitter API lets clients use the new(ish) "search tweets of people you follow" function? It's the only reason to use the Twitter website, I think.

REAL MATURE GUYS

@realDonaldTrump @Lord_Sugar Unlike yours, my financials are phenomenal.

Would be a good early 90s rap lyric.

@lenadunham
Ask my dad's friend Bob RT @crousselle what the hell happened to you as a child that made you like this?

someone explain to me the point of 'favoriting' someone else's tweets -- like people will favorite mine (and sometimes also retweet, sometimes not, sometimes retweet and not favorite), but i just retweet things i like and never favorite them, should i feel like a dick? or is it just a way of bookmarking stuff so that it's easy to find later?

it's really easy to accidentally favorite things on the phone, happens to me a lot.

more like bookmarking ime, but i'm sure diff ppl use it for diff reasons

yeah the bookmark thing I guess

its a way to acknowledge that you like a tweet without broadcasting it to all your followers. i favorite any tweet i particularly like but i only retweet if the tone & content still make sense in the context of my own feed

a fav can be a a way to say 'i like this,' a wink, a nod, a high-five, a gesture of agreement or support, or just an acknowledgement of when someone @replies to you directly

i don't think of favorites as bookmarks, i just like awarding stars to ppl

right yeah i guess it can be a private signal thing, which is how i tended to take it (stupid question but can other people see your favorites? i haven't tried)

I used iffft to send faves to Pinboard and can't get out the bookmarking habit. RIP

twitter.com/username/favorites

I use them most of the time as pathetic stamps of approval and done of the time as bookmarks. Keep 'em guessing.

Some of the time.

they can be like signing off a text message exchange with something slightly concrete, a x or a 'see you later!', to imply without stating that they are the end of the exchange, that obviously these things need to end rather than continuing forever. you favourite to punctuate. for me they are sincerely favouriting, though. i am reading a tweet & in my john mccain interior monologue voice saying i approve this message.

I thought the point of favouriting is for other people to read and enjoy your history of favourites

i think maybe once i looked at somebody else's favourites & it reminded me of the times i have started sentences with "i was watching this featurette on the seinfeld dvd-", just the depth of aloneness implicit in how i spent my time

i mostly favourite tweets when i'm on the move and they have a link to something i want to read or download when i'm at a proper computer; sometimes when it's a tweet/quote i might want to find quickly later; occasionally if it's a particularly sparkling turn of phrase that i just like a lot

sometimes if it's a mutual follower i rarely have cause to actually communicate with, it's a sort of signal to say "hey i still like & appreciate your tweets even though i never respond to them"

yeah i guess i just rarely feel the desire to signal these things re: a tweet that don't also just want to retweet

do you think anybody thinks of their /favorites page with the kind of tumblr attitude of having ~curated~ a repository of premium content

I favorite tweets that are an exceptional use of the medium.

apologies if this is too old man/cloud but anything in the way of "favorites" or "likes" that takes the utility of these kinds of sites into a further level of abstraction just makes it seem more like a video game high score thing and is not interesting to me at all
