I don't like the concept of an 'everything app'. It seems diluted and non-focused on what Twitter actually is/was: a microblogging platform. Now I see walls of text and diatribes completely lacking wit and brevity because we're now spoiled with more characters. The witty things you could inject into a 280 char tweet are now gone. Sometimes, constraints are good, and encourage creativity.
Another pain point: we can't say 'she/he tweeted that', we have to say they x'd it which is awkward and annoying.
- penaazv 3y agoI SO agree with you. It basically destroys everything Twitter stood for. And yes, it doesn't have to be huge blocks of text for it to be meaningful. And while we were making do with the (relatively) smaller changes in hindsight, this everything app thing (with super long videos and whatnot) is outrageous. Also, constraints are actually good more often than not. Just because you can say (write) more doesn't mean you have to. Sigh.
