@vgr

This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    It is really dumb that the twitter bio only allows 160 characters. I could use say 300-400 to explain my Twitter posture and set better default expectations for people who want to chatter with me

        I need 100 more bio characters to explain why it is not in fact self-regard but filter tuning

        They seem self-expression spaces? Allowing your users too much self-expression space leads to gaudy outcomes.

        Part of my still poorly-defined 'TweetSpring' concept was that threads would start with a Quote Tweet, or series of nested Quote Tweets, containing a business card type tweet along with other uses such as a forward reference to newer versions of your thread.

        I know someone who uses their bio to essentially tweet. That is, they update their bio with what is effectively a status update. Almost like @NowNowNow. I’m interested in creative uses of things that don’t get a lot of attention, which is why @spoonbill_io is useful.
