This is what I do and it's amazing. I enjoy Twitter far, far more than any other social network tbh.
- cookiecaper 9y agoI've always disliked Twitter but it does fill a very useful niche. News and sentiment will always bubble up first on Twitter. I think the potential of Twitter as a real-time stream of world events is, to this point, really untapped.
- yabatopia 9y agoIf you use it that way, great, but it's not really a social network, but rather a personalized news feed with comments. Which brings us back to the OP: Twitter doesn't feel very social,
- lenkite 9y agoI agree. Twitter is just RSS on steroids. And you don't really need steroids.
- pvdebbe 9y agoIt's like RSS on a sugar rush.
- dade_ 9y agoAnd once promoted content started bombarding me in Twitter, I went back to RSS. Unfortunately sites are dropping RSS, though most WordPress sites have an unpublicized feed.
- kalmari 9y agoi used to use rss for podcasts too but most just use dedicated services now they are a lot harder to find these days and im sure your right about the rest.
- felideon 9y agoTwitter via Bitlbee solves this problem for me: https://wiki.bitlbee.org/HowtoTwitter https://wiki.bitlbee.org/HowtoTwitter
- RodericDay 9y agoHow is it not? The vast, vast majority of the people on facebook (I have like 1.2k friends) don't seem to ever post anything except maybe a pic once in a while. Likes are similar to retweets. Seems like such an absurd distinction. Twitter is also fast and snappy compared to obese FB. It's basically noble in comparison.
- kalmari 9y agoits even categorized that way in most app stores. its how i used it too never found a news source that was not on twitter either.
- jpindar 9y agoWhy should all networks feel the same? A news feed where I can ask questions and get personal answers from real journalists, politicians etc. feels very social to me.
