It can be both. It seems obvious that a thing like Twitter ought to exist. The social system details, I'd agree, are full of unforced errors that lead to terrible outcomes. But the centralization is a real problem too. We can try to fix both.
- amscanne 6y agoIt’s not obvious to me. I have a fantasy that people will return to thoughtful, long-form blogging and stop trying to impale each other on witty 280 character tweets.
- gfodor 6y agoThe essential element of twitter is asymmetric following + broadcast at global scale and penetration. Beyond that, I think the social system details are wide open.
