- pests 8y agoIs there something wrong with this? Email, fax, phones, telegrams, snail mail, etc. Everything was the new weird thing at one point in time.
- twinkletwinkle 8y agoTweets have the side effect of being public. Sometimes that becomes the main effect. Emails and the rest of your examples don't have that property.
- vuln 8y agoTransparency!

- kbsletten 8y agoYou've clearly never had somebody forward your email on you. All digital communication is effectively public by virtue of fast, easy copying.
- what_ever 8y agoThere is a difference between public nature of tweet where anyone can go and read it vs public nature of email where you would need to forward it to everyone (or one of them would have to tweet it which is back to what GP said).
- frozenport 8y agoTweets are limited in content, unlike other forms of communication their perminance is at the leisure of one American tech company.
- hhh 8y agoTheir visibility is as well.
- jiggunjer 8y agoYou mean like gmail?
- kickopotomus 8y agoGmail is just one company's implementation of an application layer sitting on top of SMTP. You are free to use any other company's implementation or even host your own and you will still be able to communicate with all other existing SMTP services. Not at all like tweets.
