    Twitter as a company is culturally oriented around NOW. Product reflects this. The Twitter users who search their own and others timelines for building webs of threads are hacking the platform to build a collaborative Memex (memory extension) Eventually those users will migrate

        Related -- The Right Thing, for a social Memex, is granular publishing. If you're not ready to make public the ideas that tie together your own, or others public thoughts into a thread, you shouldn't have to. Should be able to thread regardlesshttps://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1099181050045952006?s=19 …

        28) Because it supports threading, and the limits to tweet length force you to address ideas atomically, Twitter can actually be a better second brain than Evernote https://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1129806786477772801?s=19 …
