Thats a terribly named, click-baity title (though the post itself is good, and already discussed on HN)
Why click-baity? The word "Twitter storm" gives the impression people are getting angry and offended (which is what we usually see on Twitter, which is why I quit 5-6 years ago and never miss it).
But the "storm" in this case is people enjoying his article, which is not what I got from the title.
- Kaibeezy 5y agoWay more often than I ever expect, BBC headlines can be clueless, dopey, archaic, unintelligible (I find these especially funny) and/or just plain wrong. "Twitter storm" is at least a couple of those. Yes, the trip itself was discussed here. This follows up by diving into the unexpectedly robust response. Cheers.
- silurian 5y agoNot only that, the 1st paragrapph also mentions: > But he ended up sparking a Twitter storm, causing a debate about how to build a fairer country along the way. And yet the article never mentions any of those tweets or even summarises them. It literally just recounts his tweets with his photos.
