There are others (Hi Ken!) that do this too, building a mesh of often vaguely connected tweets almost mirroring neurons (can tweets mirror mirror neurons?) Some old tweets no longer reflect current thinking but leaving them provides a deep trail for resurrection at Omega Point๐Ÿ‘ฝ

Sometimes I feel like maybe I overwhelm people when I reply w/a tweet that also quote tweets an older tweet (often but not always mine) as if to suggest that my reply is only the tip of the iceberg of logic one must dig thru in order to understand Is the fireworks condescending

My own memory plus search It doesn't always work. I remembered Homochirality for the video I wanted to but didn't find, so substituted that short 'wtf was that' piece TweetDeck helps, search results always by latest, & collections for 'working memory' for extensive threads

I also try & avoid putting my own opinions into some links (esp youtube vids) b/c I know (or at least suspect) that I'll be able to use them for multiple purposes later. TweetDeck is unique in that it'll let me quote tweet & then, in the QT dialog, let me hit Reply on any tweet

Reply Quote Tweets (RQTs) combine a Quote Tweet (QT) with a Reply. RQTs are possibly the most powerful way to use Twitter. They have a multitude of uses from thread maintenance to thread branching to linking different people & concepts together.

Threading 101: Reply Quote Tweets: The most powerful way to use Twitter, RQTs link 2 tweets together. Here the tweet to the left of the RQT is being Replied to & the tweet below the RQT is being Quote Tweeted. In clients other than TweetDeck this needs to be a Manual QT. Only TweetDeck allows you to Reply after starting a QT. RQTs are social triangles, linking different concepts together.

I also make databases. I have a bunch of search tweets, some work on hashtags in content tweets, most work on metadata quote tweets. To keep track of my search tweets I made the below. The changes to search b/c of new twitter UI are bothersome to me since less control for users

If I make a search tweet of search tweets, I'd have a search tweet I could search search tweets from. from:mwiik #XD #serptwurl -#exclude or just click: ๐Ÿฆ twitter.com/search?f=tweet

The frustrating part for me is that there are supposedly hundreds of millions of tweeple yet I have not seen anyone else do similar stuff w/in twitter I want to find the others (There was the tweetdeck groups fraud, but I was too innocent to think of that on my own. Shit.)

May be too late for me I've been here since age 4 but retained Norwegian citizenship in hopes of one day returning, even if only to retire (and vote, I've never voted in my life) Instead I expect to die in poverty here in the USA. I already died once, so don't mind too much.

Theoretically I could stay w/my half-sister & her husband till I found someplace to live Difficulties include my partner doesn't want to leave USA & hard to blame her. I also may die before she retires So cold. Can't afford to winter in Spain. Winning the lottery would help

Nonetheless your offer of assistance is extremely appreciated & touching But Norway is no longer the land I remember from my youth Now they have McDonalds, where are the open-faced, herring-topped sandwiches I remember?
