Twitter seems especially unsuited for long-form "articles" like this. Neat generators and neat maps, but the whole time I was distracted by the breakup of text and flow.
Why not get a free Medium or WordPress account?
- Nition 9y agoThese sorts of threads are usually created as much to attract more Twitter followers as they are to impart interesting information. They can be easily shared around on Twitter (via retweets) so more people find the creator.
- naikrovek 9y agoIt's not that so much. People don't put effort into writing passionate threads like this solely for followers. They write passionate threads like this because they are passionate. Added followers are sometimes a side effect and rarely if ever the actual goal.
- Nition 9y agoWell I didn't say anything like "solely for followers". They can be created out of passion and still posted on Twitter instead of somewhere else for a reason.
- byron_fast 9y agoIt does seem unfortunate that such a great collection of information is on such an ephemeral platform. Interesting enough that it doesn't matter much.
