Wordpress is a tool to make websites. Yes, you can put your content on a website and then link to that from Twitter.
But that puts a big barrier in front of your content and the Twitter users. Visiting a website is usually a horrible experience. So people are very hesitant to do so. Click through rates from social media to websites are abysmal.
- aethertron 8y agoGood point. Users are willing to browse around Twitter (and Facebook) where the experience is consistent, tolerable. And functional enough for many kinds of content creators. They've achieved a sort of balance. User hesitation to follow links out to the open web is lamentable, but wholly understandable. Perhaps some 3rd party service with a recognisable URL could establish itself as a non-horrible, useful supplement to add extra structure to one's posts. (Although I was suggesting something to use instead of Twitter, not something to use with it.)
