How did I know that underneath that terse damnation of Twitter was bubbling a stormy and long-winded sea of contempt?
I'll spare you the equally long winded rebuttal with my very simple observation about Twitter: it has brought RSS to the masses; a concept that was very useful to tech-savvy people but very nebulous and confusing to non-tech-savvy people.
That, and you should try http://search.twitter.com http://search.twitter.com sometime. I assume that you haven't because I somehow doubt you'd hate Twitter so much had you.
- cookiecaper 17y agoFacebook is what really brought the concept of aggregation to the masses; it's essentially an aggregator of your friends' lives.
- marknutter 17y agoI'll agree with that, but I would say Twitter is the better example being that it's much more open than Facebook (no friend requests required).
- elblanco 17y agoIf only there was some technology....that would....aggregate the blogs and news sites I'm interested in....and display it...perhaps in a reader like format....using some kind of standardized syndication service that's easy peasy to setup....and then, when I see something I like....it has enough content in it to be useful.... sigh Perhaps Google will figure it out someday.
