@BBittwister There was a time when there wasn't any threading. There was a time when there was threading but it didn't hide shit randomly. -
@BBittwister Funny thing is, threading has been a fully solved problem since fucking USENET. -
@St_Rev Since even before usenet. BBSes had this shit down. It's basic stuff. -
@BBittwister Yet every new social media site breaks it, hard. It's baffling. Except for@meaningness's point, I guess. -
@BBittwister@Meaningness Probably the goal is to provide the illusion of conversation (humans crave that) while discouraging it. -
@St_Rev@Meaningness Perhaps. I miss the old ways where everyone flocked to protocols instead of centralized services. -
@St_Rev@Meaningness Then you could use the client of your choice. - 15 more replies

@St_Rev The point of New Twitter is to crowdsource advertising, not to have conversations -
@St_Rev Crowdsourced advertising: your job is to tweet product URLs and to encourage your “friends” to buy. http://amzn.to/1CaYTDK
