yeah, I love those threads, but Twitter makes it difficult to handle. On the computer, I can have all of them on my bookmarks bar. But no way to handle that on

  im not sure how many threads can be pinned, but there isn't an obvious way to highlight these info dense, semi-coherent threads that can just about be read like a long form piece on the subject. in some ways the idea is almost like zettelkasten for a twitter user. hashtags were derived from zettelkasten note systems, but twitter never encouraged metadata usage to categorize and sustain narratives, or innovative ways to search intelligently across these ideas. the hashtag's functionality was reduced to a viral agent/barometer and soulless corporate actors believed removing spaces from a slogan was the same thing as meaning something. im pleased with the large proliferation of note-taking and org cms systems today. i think none of them is the answer but the answer wouldn't come about without them or without the experimentation taking place in the space. Being able to easily and accurately collect information across media and various websites and ship/store/recall it all is going to be an incredible shift, but requires replacing almost all the tools we know or only using them as peripherals.
