No surprises here. Snapchat captures the use a common person wants. Twitter's really just good for tracking celebrities.

- Pxtl 10y agoIve found Twitter goes beyond celebrities. It's great for live events like conferences or debates or whatever, even ones that are too small for major media coverage. When something is happening, you get live journos and bloggers live tweeting the breaking news, and the surrounding discussion is good too.
- agumonkey 10y agoI track approximately zero celebs. I do track a lot of people in CS/Math fields. Kindof a live bookmark feed.
- niftich 10y agoThe point still stands, there are two kinds of Twitter users: 'VIPs' who attract followers, and 'consumers' who follow them.
- the_watcher 10y ago> Twitter's really just good for tracking celebrities. What? Twitter has become the dominant platform for breaking news. It's also got a decent number of niche communities (I'm pretty active in NBA Twitter, for example).
- sotojuan 10y agoI use Twitter to connect, meet, and talk to other devs. Maybe it's similar to "tracking celebrities" but it's been a boon to my career and learning (with moderate use, of course).
