Twitter is not a technology. Unless you want to call phone calls shorter than 14 seconds a new technology too.
Twitter is RSS for humans.
Uhm, what? Maybe for some weird breed of humans who cannot digest more than 140 chars and hate context.
- pyre 16y agoFor a lot of sites, the RSS feed is basically a headline and a link to the actual article. 140 characters can be sufficient for those purposes... Not that that's necessarily taxing the limits of RSS or anything though.
- thingie 16y agoI'd call phone calls limited to just 14 seconds a new technology, and I'd love it. Imagine that you could just answer any call because you know that it's not going to degenerate into 5-minute long series of you just nodding to the endless story of the other side.
- mechanical_fish 16y agoI would apologize for the use of the word technology for Twitter... but I can't see where I actually used that word. IMHO Twitter is a medium, not a technology. Not that the specific word we use makes much difference. Call it a genre, if you like.
