- xenoterracide 18y agoyes to both, imho. Neither are 'news worthy' if the link it's too is news worthy then that link should be posted not the link to the twitter. I come here for new and articles on running a business, technology, and to help others. clicking through to a 1 sentence twitter from my rss readers is not a good use of my time. I can see the place for something like twitter but I don't think that place is something like hacker news.
- akkartik 18y agoI come here for comments and things people find interesting and worth talking about. 'news worthy' is only a subset of that. There's lots of other places to find news online. Short items can be worth talking about. Comments are usually shorter than the posts they comment on, and I frequently find comments that are more interesting than their parents.
- xenoterracide 18y agoI like the commentary sometimes. But I can't imagine having much to say about a 1 liner. to each their own however.
