  1. @kevwil my husband uses euphemisms: "Do you want the 'interesting' news or the 'counter-intuitive' news." Puzzle to map them to bad/good
  2. @tobie any day you get to use the phrase 'cargo cult' is a good day ;) There was no way to know what I meant from my tweet. No worries.
  3. @Konrad Yes! "In-reply-to" is perfect. (I'd settle for anything that suggests, motivated-by, prompted-by, triggered-by...)
  4. @lukeredpath I think it was a scalability thing around checking each reader's individual opt-in settings. That's when the 'hack' started...
  5. @Konrad yes, a context issue. The use-case for @reply, but cc all is a generalized reply, but meaningful only w/ context you can't paste in
  6. @lukeredpath use-case: a general tweet, but... *in a context*. The context IS the thing you're replying to; 140 chars too few to copy/paste
  7. @lukeredpath how do you opt to review replies to all users? I thought that choice was removed (which I'm actually happy about).
  8. @SheilaS I think in some cases it could work. Problem doing it first time is you interrupt *flow*, sometimes crucial to the user experience.
  9. @charliepark I disagree. (kind of). I think it's a different use-case that is not fully served by @reply, RT, and 1st-class tweet.
  10. @lukeredpath I've not seen this abused, though believe it can be. It's a simple workaround for a use-case not well-addressed at the moment
  11. Clarification: prefixing @reply w/ ANYTHING behaves as though "cc all followers". Doesn't matter what. I just use "*" because it's festive.
  12. @tobie I was offering *a* way to do it, not *the* way. I realized it would be interpreted that way, but... in 140 chars, I'm not that good.
  13. New to twitter? @reply seen by *only* subset of your followers who ALSO follow person you reply to. Prefix w/ "*" will cc ALL your followers
  14. @Karoli seeing your avatar in my Twitter stream makes me smile
  15. @kevinmarks We need a typology-of-talks to make finer-grained distinctions between talks-that-have-audiences, based on goal, format, content
  16. @jdowdell wow... I've moved 20 times (across 3 states) since those days, yet my Script-X manuals remain in the things-I-can't-let-go-of box
  17. @kevinmarks ...and that's the point: there ARE differences between discussions *in parallel* vs. discussions *about*. Worth experimenting :)
  18. OK, so @baratunde & myself are both up for Keynote Interruptus. At least 1 conference--Webstock (@maupuia) wants to try. Who's with us? ;)
  19. @bubbleessence thank you so much! (and when I have a chance, I want to talk w/ you re: workshops)
  20. @maupuia (I would totally do Interruptus)
