This means whenever Microsoft announce something or someone writes about something on Twitter, submit that instead of theverge.com.
- crazygringo 3y agoThe problem is that press releases often only give one side of a "story", while news articles often present it in a valuable narrative context. E.g. a new product was announced because the old one used to catch fire. I mean the context isn't usually that dramatic, but there's often important information about a price change, or a response to previous consumer complaints, or how it fits into the broader product line, or is a response to competition -- all of which is much more valuable than anything in a press release.
- minimaxir 3y agoThis is a weird gray area where although Twitter/X is the canonical source for many announcements, users don't upvote them unless it's from a more respected domain. (and often with a more informative title)
