      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 …

      “But the medium has changed. Everyone I follow on the site seems to be tweeting more frequently, so I had to check in more frequently.” This is the intention behind ranking the timeline. Show you “what matters” first, everything else still accessible. Lots of work still to do.

      “On Twitter, everything is shrunk down to the same size, making it harder to discern what is a big deal and what is not. Tone often overshadows the actual news. All outrages appear equal.” Def a problem. Believe we can help solve by showing more context and related conversation.

      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.

          One of my favorite parts of twitter is random brilliance by people not designated as opinion leaders.

          Here's an idea for ya, @jack. How bout you make algorithmic curation an optional setting? Then those of us with >2 brain cells to rub together can switch it off, and those who prefer not to think for themselves, can switch it on? #Censorship

          TERRRIBLE IDEA. I’ve seen plenty of so called “experts” either boldly lie or just flat out have it wrong. Allowing certain people on this platform to spread information with even more power and influence, because they’ve been deemed experts, sounds disastrous

          @jack misses the entire reason his platform was a killer app in the first place- egalitarianism.

          or maybe jack just wants to play god. the media influences the narrative - but at least there are various media sources - now 2 companies (twitter/Facebook) can influence all media outlets. i think jack understands this dynamic probably better than anyone.

          An option for a straight chronological order timeline is my hope. If something is breaking news, I will see it that way, without having to wade through algorithmically generated content.

          Totally. That was my thought. It reveals what he really thinks of his bread and butter. Quite revealing. It is just manipulation disguised as help.

          If I remember the original tweet I just don’t think it is helpful or necessary for anyone outside of yourself to determine what is true or not for you. We are better off evaluating and deciding for ourselves. Life taught me that. That’s how I know.

          This is actually the best part of Twitter -- people can rise and fall on their own merits, without gatekeeping. Adding gatekeeping is the opposite of what makes Twitter worthwhile, and it will cost you subscribers.

          On the other hand, I'd claim that a lot of anointed experts aren't all that. Sometimes, the voices of outsiders matter. I'd argue the opposite - the curation towards the Maggies detracts from pluralism. If I wanted to read the NYT, I'd do it. Twitter has another value proposition
