I feel that many regular people have given up the notion of actively tweeting their own content. The friends I follow on Twitter don't tweet very often nowadays, and when they do it's often in response to a tweet made by an account with a large following. I mostly stay on Twitter to keep up to date with news from certain groups and organizations (for example, YC). To me, at least, it doesn't really feel like "Facebook with short posts only" anymore, but more "place where you can read and comment on casual thoughts and updates from your favorite celebs and companies".
- ndnxhs 8y ago>place where you can read and comment on casual thoughts and updates from your favorite celebs and companies Sounds like hell
- oblio 8y agoWhy?
- bryanrasmussen 8y agohell is a place where you actually have favorite companies and engage in conversations with those companies. it is said that you should never meet your heroes (or I suppose your favorite celebs). Hell is a place where you are exposed to your heroes' casual thoughts. maybe it would just be hell for me; but a personality change so extreme that I ended up with favorite companies afterwards does sound like the plot to a dystopian novel.
- oblio 8y agoPeople do want to meet their heroes, there's a reason we have terms such as "fans", "groupies", etc.
- teddyh 8y agoDogs chase cars, but it usually does not go well if they catch one.
- bryanrasmussen 8y agoa fan does not necessarily want to meet their hero, whereas it is of course true that a groupie does. Nonetheless, the saying still exists that you should never meet your heroes, even if fans and groupies do want to do that which they should never.
