A few thoughts on @maggieNYT’s article on Twitter. A lot of fair critiques within.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/sunday-review/maggie-haberman-twitter-donald-trump.html …

This is our primary job: “To be clear, Twitter is a useful and important platform. It’s a good aggregator for breaking news. I still check my feed to see breaking news developments, and I will continue to.” Thinking a lot about how to promote more participation in conversation.

Powerful, but only if we help organize and not overwhelm people: ”And it is democratic—everyone gets to have a voice, whether they work for a local paper, a small TV station or one of the biggest newspapers in the world, or are not in the media business at all.”

”The downside is that everyone is treated as equally expert on various topics.” One of the biggest areas I believe we can help. Helping to determine credible voices per topic in real-time is extremely challenging, but believe it’s possible. Mix of algos and network.

“There is an important discussion about journalism that must take place, including about how all of us performed during the 2016 campaign, but Twitter is not where a nuanced or thoughtful discussion can happen.” This is what we’d like to fix the most.

Fundamentally, we need to focus more on the conversational dynamics within Twitter. We haven’t paid enough consistent attention here. Better organization, more context, helping to identify credibility, ease of use. Challenging work and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

The answer you gave in your tweet one before this is part of the cause of this problem. If people had chronological timelines (at least as an option), then they'd be seeing what is a big deal because that's what they'd be seeing talked about by many. 1/

Instead, if you are showing them a few things to get their attention, it both flattens those to closer to the same level, and distorts what they people who matter to them are actually discussing--- which would be the big stuff. 2/

#MaggieHaberman is right. Twitter, does shrink things to the same size. Its hard to tell who are your allies, how much bias should you disregard, or should you heed warning signs as journalists blatantly refuse to call “falsehoods” “lies” or say there’s only ONE tape.pic.twitter.com/QFmQlb8Hli
