Interesting stuff, but is there a more obnoxious way to tell a story than in a twitter thread? I was hoping that Medium was starting to solve this problem, but clearly not everyone has adopted it.
- cholantesh 9y agoFor a second, I thought the problem in question was 'finding a more obnoxious way to tell a story than in a twitter thread'.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoI look at it glass half full. I found one of the few Twitter accounts worth following.
- cholantesh 9y agoGood one. And revisiting it now, I think it makes sense, and it must have taken some doing to post, considering he'd have to do it in reverse chronological order.
- aw3c2 9y agoThis is much more readable than Medium's 5 lines per page style for me.
- notatoad 9y agoi don't see the problem. the content is there, it's linear, and i don't have to deal with all medium's obnoxious popups and desperate pleas to install their app or create an account.
- lostlogin 9y agoAt least it wasn’t the email from a relative that’s been forwarded so many times you can’t read the subject and the content is indented 86 times. THOUGHT YOUD LIKE THIS ONE.

- DC-3 9y agoThanks for this.
- mikeash 9y agoWhat does Medium do that the million other blog services don't in this respect?
- api 9y agoNot look like crap?
- levesque 9y agoIt annoys the crap out of non-logged in users!
- WillPostForFood 9y agoYes, Medium starts with a modal nag screen, then has a sticky header and footer which breaks paging (Mac/Chrome). Medium has totally lost any claim to being better for readability.
- eitland 9y agoAlso they still haven't figured out consistent urls.
- jamesmp98 9y agoand users who don't pay
- aalleavitch 9y agoGets used by people whose articles I want to read, mostly.
- snakeboy 9y agoUsually I hate this format, but given the ratio of text to images, I don't really think the "tweetstorm" style got in the way. Each tweet was atomized to reveal a bit more of his story in a well-paced manner.
