- dang 5y agoI don't think the GP was talking about content so much as how Twitter's features were shaped in the early years, by formalizing how users were creatively adapting the site. Twitter stood out that way.
- codemac 5y agoNot true at all - stories ala Snapchat were not invented by users. Twitter was (but no longer) awesome by allowing folks to consume plain text with socially agreed upon meaning rather than features of the client. It's my feeling that instead of piling on more metadata into the posts, they could have done something more similar to RES on reddit, and expanded the text limit.
