Analytics
- marksomnian 9y agoAnalytics != mind-reading. Unless they send every single keystroke and character deletion, they can't track that.
- michaelmior 9y agoThat works for users using an official Twitter client who actually typed in the tweet and then edited it. It doesn't account for people who decided to enter something shorter because they knew what they wanted to say would hit the limit.
- agumonkey 9y agoTrue, but to an extent you know how people type, start something then stop, hesitate.. an awful lot can be retrieved from an input field.
- michaelmior 9y agoI was referring more to people who mentally edit what they want to say before they even start typing because they know it would be too long.
- agumonkey 9y agoSure on that point nobody can, but between no knowledge and mind reading there's a huge amount of stuff website can gather.
