Twitter makes for a bad blogging \
platform
- saurik 5y agoI think it works best when people use it like a slide deck--the kind you create and then "send" to someone, as opposed to the kind that is used as a visual aid for a talk or lecture--and carefully organize their tweets so that they have one semi-isolatable (but hopefully rather complete) thought/insight per message. I agree that John Carmack, as evidenced by these tweets, does not seem to know (or care about) how to do that :(... but I've totally seen people do it well; and then, as a "blogging platform", it has the superpower of letting people branch graphs out of your deck, highlighting and commenting on slides while still retaining their context as part of a global discussion.
- coldacid 5y agoThe (slow) death of blogs and .plan files is probably the greatest net negative Twitter has had on the internet.
- npteljes 5y agoTurns out that the people factor is greater than the technological factor.
