Who are these jerks who don't like sandwiches

tbf actual sandwiches are way better than tweets abt sadnwiches

living vicariously through other ppls sandwiches

maybe there just needs to be a separate joke-free twitter exclusively reserved for sandwich tweets

Haha, vice's best writer - clive martin - covers the earlier discussed weirdness of the topless 16 year old boy brigade on twitter with panache: http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/the-hashtag-heartthrobs-of-twitter

not sure where this is going, but if hashtag/regex muting ends I'm off

summary: twitter is about to weaken/cripple third party clients

ya im curious to see how this plays out, seems like it wouldve been wiser to just make it so third party clients were forced to display all of twitters ads and couldnt serve any of their own, not sure what they gain by cutting users off from how they like to use the service, particularly considering a lot of the functionality twitter uses in its own apps originated in third party ones, i mean all of twitters apps started out as third party apps then they bought them

fortunately the tweetbot people are not too worried

seems like they should be that theyre only allowed to grow to twice their number of current users

and new services are only allowed to goto 100k

but yeah, twitter doesn't seem all that good at fostering a community. you're otm about just forcing ads, and otherwise letting people go about their business.

xxp that's definitely a worry. not sure whether it's technically anticompetitive, but it certainly hacks into what has been an open market long enough for an industry to develop.

i guess it makes sense that twitter would put limits on certain apps making use of its api, especially those that scrape huge amounts of data for analytics and stuff, not necessarily the user clients? nobody likes a fail whale

yeah but it seems to be happy with the analytics apps

from the mashable article:

Twitter is explicitly telling developers not to focus on the upper right-hand quadrant — traditional Twitter clients and syndication — and is instead urging developers to focus on other quadrants for their apps and services.

the delineation between enterprise clients and traditional clients seems a lil fuzzy

What would a followers/following management app be considered? That's pretty much the only thing I use concerning twitter that isn't on the main website. Oh, well, that and link shorteners.

seems like that would go in the dreaded consumer engagement quadrant

Some intern at Amoeba right now is going "Goddammit":

Congrats to @CocaCola_Douche who won tix to Diana Krall @hollywoodbowl! Great seats still avail on Sat 8/25!

Right on up there with our beloved Lysol douche.

Ervin McKinness, a 21-year-old aspiring rapper, tweeted about driving drunk at 120 mph minutes before dying in a fiery one-car crash that killed the rapper and four others.

McKinness posted the now-ominous tweets about speeding while driving drunk on the account @ink2flashyy at 1:19 a.m. on Sept. 2.

this is unfortunate, but no one is gonna end up on app.net

I just looked at the front page. They are still just mainly talking about app.net.

wait what for real??? wtf! ifttt is best.

I had ifttt throwing FB status updates to my gcal but then on my anniversary I wrote something like "celebrating a year of love.." and fucking ifttt put that status into my cal for every day between my first and second anniversary. So glad I was able to edit the date of the "event" and declutter the calendar. It did that with twitter - picked random dates using the time stamp etc.

that is kind of hilarious

TODAY:
Pick up dry-cleaning
Go grocery shopping
Celebrate a year of love

TOMORROW:
Deposit checks
Go to Cindy's party
Celebrate a year of love

ok so it looks like you can still use other channels to trigger new tweets, but you can't use tweets to trigger other channels or push tweets to other services. definitely less useful, some functionality remains but it's been cut down a lot.

i would say this is a pretty dumb move for twitter to pull but then again i'm not a jackass social media dev guru

i can understand them wanting to gain control of their eco system or w/e tf bs but why fuck w/lil doodads only nerds use, alienate the biggest complainers in the world for some imperceptible gain

dunno if this has been posted anywhere (and it's not 'about' twitter per se) but this is fairly wild/depressing/whatever else: http://www.nohomophobes.com/

about 90 people said faggot on twitter in the time between me clicking off that site's tab, typing the above post and pressing submit

who is the best ilxor to follow?

i need one of these, apparently, to nab an advertising internship. pissed a bit b/c i'm plenty familiar w/ everything twitter, just have absolutely no desire for a personal connection to it: i just don't do this shit. but it's a necessity... and as such, please follow me @kmattduffy
