It was an available. Open public medium with more open interconnectivity than anything else.
It was incredibly easy to share & relay things quickly.
Nothing else in my view comes close. Twitter had won Metcalfe's Law.
Metcalfe's law states that the value or impact of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system.
There's places like Facebook where there's lots of users but most only connect to people they know. Blogs and email can connect people who don't K ow each other, but they have to go make the connection. Twitter has an open culture, where people reshare things, or people converse in threads, & we see those cool things & follow those other people. Twitter was the only successful self growing system on the planet.
Now the connections are all being severed & the network is dying. Such a fucking sad shame pity. This is a burning of the Library of Alexandria of our age. Also no one can afford to look into the archive anymore either so truly some dark Dark Ages shit. Absolutely tragic & monstrous, just vile villianshit.
