- throwaway894345 5y agoHah. I didn’t think about how this might be interpreted. By “address”, I meant “link to”. Hopefully that’s clearer.
- schemathings 5y agoI regularly use my browser plugin 'Display Anchors' to get the URL to direct people to the exact part of a page I'm referencing.
- kevingadd 5y agoYeah, but if someone reading your quote wants to verify that it's an accurate quote and not taking it out of context, they have to dig up the source article and find the text you're quoting. The blog post is also mutable, which means its contents may change after being quoted. Tweets are immutable and always have a reliable link, with built-in quoting functionality. The one caveat is that a tweet or account can be deleted, but that's true for blogs as well so I don't view that as a mark against Twitter here.
