Friends, next time I start a thread on Twitter, just remind me not to.
I should just put stuff in my newsletter
or a column somewhere.
I know that @TabathaSouthey (among others) often tests material on Twitter before publishing at length. That might be workable...
Hah, yeah; problem is there is no way to tie tweet to thread; but nothing makes sense in 140 char chunks alone.
's material has more pithy bits. For analytical work, Twitter is hopeless, except in info-gathering stage, maybe.
It's the out-of-context quoting. I once sad a *minimal* UBI wasn't enough and people took that to mean I said arbeit macht frei.
One can be OOC-quoted anywhere but carving things up makes it inevitable. Also no idea what will blow up.
It's affordance collision: threading allows longer thoughts but it's an illusion. I shouldn't thread since OOC seems inevitable.
why people number their thread tweets if they worry about this, obvious that single tweet is part of a bigger thought
Yes. Last issue was I explicitly said "sorry, can't do definition in 140; longer later" got deliberately ignored.
So no defense against such bad faith... Would happen with blogs too. I tend to engage people so disappointing..
but there is a different norm and expectation on twitter, justifiable or not
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
