This article highlights 2 things for me:
1) White text on black is really hard to read. I had to edit the style to read it comfortably.
2) I now get why I don't like Twitter. It's impossible to have a conversation or debate on it. This post was a direct result of that impossibility.
- bdhe 15y agoI now get why I don't like Twitter. It's impossible to have a conversation or debate on it. This post was a direct result of that impossibility. Slightly OT, but the New Yorker recently profiled Jarod Lanier[1] where he critiques social networking sites as dehumanizing and designed to encourage shallow-interactions. There are also a lot more interesting viewpoints including calling Wikipedia a triumph of "intellectual mob rule". I would highly recommend the article as a "Devil's advocate" sorta reading, which is unfortunately behind a paywall[2].
