True, that was not very well written. I meant to say that not solving a well-defined problem is not always a death sentence (see: Twitter, Reddit, etc.), but that it's still not a very encouraging sign.
- WalterSear 15y agoTwitter arguably solved a problem we didn't know we had. Reddit - that solved a problem we did have, same problem as HN does.
- knowtheory 15y agoyeah, i think that you should probably leave that point out unless you have a good way to connect having an obvious purpose and success.
- jsavimbi 15y ago> Twitter didn’t solve any real problem I automatically discounted your entire argument based on those six words. If you're still unable to see the problem that Twitter solved, then you shouldn't be writing about tech, media or related.
- 1va 15y agoOk. I'll bite: What problem do you feel Twitter solved?
- jsavimbi 15y agoTo date, it's the most reliable, worldwide accesible, short-messaging, real-time propagation system that we've developed. Hands down, it has no competition. Not radio, not TV, not satellite communication and certainly not through any corporate-owned mouthpiece. It discounts trends, rumors, celebrity-induced Mass Sociogenic Illness or cheap propaganda. It solved the problem of truthful dissemination through independent social verification. If you did no not know that there was a problem with the truth as it was delivered to us prior to 2009 (which is when Twitter got its wheels) then you are one ignorant summbitch. Downvote for stupidity.

- catshirt 15y agoah yes how did we forget. thanks to twitter all the information we receive is unfiltered from the source and no one lies.
