@fredwilson @pmarca I look forward to 3rd-party clients being able to filter out tweetstorms. They're self-indulgent, irritating, and rude.

David Caldwell ‏@roodave Jun 28

@fredwilson yes, except for marginally influential or authoritative people will result in unfollowing for cluttering feed

jim hirshfield ‏@jimhirshfield Jun 28

@StephenFleming That seems like a generalization. @fredwilson @pmarca

Waqas Ali ‏@waqasaday Jun 28

@fredwilson @pmarca I would also add, #tweetstorms reach to quite diverse audience, given the followers from different backgrounds can RT.

Christine Lu ‏@christinelu Jun 28

@fredwilson I feel like this is the part of the tweetstorm where @pmarca drops the mic and walks off stage.

Tim Poor ‏@tim_poor Jun 28

@fredwilson @pmarca I see a space for a client that can reassemble tweet storms effectively making a tweet a 'visible' 140 char packet.

Ryan J Negri ‏@RyanNegri Jun 28

@fredwilson @pmarca Marc replies to his own #1 so it's unobtrusive...kinda. Instead of 10 different posts, his are replies within original.

@StephenFleming I was just thinking the same thing about tweetstorms Stephen, soon i’ll be getting dozens of “blog” tweets all at once

Ryan J Negri ‏@RyanNegri Jun 28

@fredwilson @pmarca Not saying I don't enjoy both of your words, regardless of format, but I just think there needs to be uniformity.

Josh Vermaire ‏@joshvermaire Jun 28

@StephenFleming @fredwilson @pmarca why not use mute? Seems like the perfect use case.

@fredwilson @pmarca That emergent behavior is really important.It's why recent changes by @medium to inhibit emergent behavior are bad idea

Subrahmanyam KVJ ‏@SuB8u Jun 28

@fredwilson #tweetstorms allow modular thoughts. Each part can effectively also be a separate blog, & yet be part of a larger story @pmarca

Stephen Fleming ‏@StephenFleming Jun 28

@joshvermaire @fredwilson @pmarca Minimum resolution on mute is 1 day. Needs to be 1 hour. And it doesn't remove litter already in timeline

Stephen Fleming ‏@StephenFleming Jun 28

@jimhirshfield @fredwilson @pmarca If it takes more than two tweets, you should write a blog post and tweet a link. Tweetstorms are abusive.

jim hirshfield ‏@jimhirshfield Jun 28

@StephenFleming I might have to blog about this ;-) @fredwilson @pmarca

Stephen Fleming ‏@StephenFleming Jun 28

@jimhirshfield That's what blogs are for! :-)

Josh Vermaire ‏@joshvermaire Jun 28

@StephenFleming @fredwilson @pmarca those are easy product changes. I'm all for tweetstorms. I don't want to click through to your blog.

Erik Schwartz ‏@eriks Jun 28

@fredwilson @pmarca It takes much more commitment to follow a tweet stormer. I would unfollow most.

Reny Harding ‏@renyharding Jun 28

@fredwilson #tweetstorms sounds like a good way to ad spam over Twitter. Betr visibility makes it even more so.
