twitter #music

uh, k

what do people think? it's WeAreHunted right?

it actually is wearehunted

http://readwrite.com/2013/04/18/twitter-music-great-for-artists-less-so-for-fans-hands-on-review

can someone explain what this is without all the fuzzy buzzword shite? terms like 'social' and 'platform' and 'crowd-***' make my brain shut down

it's a thing that thinks you like the music made by all the musicians you follow and feeds it all at you, but only if the musicians have linked to their music in the proper format. it also suggests music based on what your friends like (because of course you all like exactly the same thing) and also just shit it wants everyone to be looking at. brands revenue brands.

great thanks, wonder if any truly useful tool will come along that does the whole 'recommend music' thing properly. really hope so but can't see something so nuanced reduced to a computer algorithm

found out today that judy blume is on twitter and her bio is "are you there, twitter? it's me, judy"

i wish it was 'I must, I must increase my tweets'

and that her twitter handle was @lolforever

or

@tigereyes

or @deenie

i'll stop now

lol. judy blume is always showing up on the "who to follow" corner of twitter. i think twitter wishes judy blume meant more to me than she actually does.

without her & stephen king I hate to think how much older I would have been when I learned about sex

judy's like my fking den mother

lol, i'm happy i didn't learn about sex from stephen king

lag∞n: what's your @?

ttly looking forward to the beautiful future of the new twitter suggban button

I heard they're going to call it "Flag Tweet".

no thread about the #twittersilence? most cringiest pointless nothingest thing ever imo

doesn't help that some of the people behind it have a bit of a rep for abusing the disabled/trans folks (albeit low-level)

NI otm. so many ways in which it was wrong-headed

not sure i consider that apology quite covers everything, though...baby steps, whatever

So much hate for Twitter. So much.

About the twitter 'suggest ban' button, I see some major implications. Now, twitter - at least to Dutch law, but I suspect to most countries - is labelled as a hoster, like an ISP. When it implements a form of moderation, it ceases to just be a communication medium, and starts being moderated platform. Now, twitter isn't responsible for death threats etc, but with the move to a moderation platform - at least to Dutch law - it will become responsible for all content.

That is a massive change. Only recently Twitter went to court in the US to prevent having to hand over information about Anonymous-members. Stating privacy, they won. But when they themselves become responsible for twitter's contents, that will not hold up in court any more, will it? Because they are responsible for what people tweet.

one very telling part of all this was caitlin moran saying that martina navratilova signing up was 'the most exciting thing to ever happen to me'

and that apology is a broken mess. how come it's ok for caitlin to say 'rancid things' at 2am in the morning, or 'a long time ago' but it's not for anyone else? clearly something needs to be done about the more extreme nasty shit going on on there but this '#twittersilence' is just a self-serving embarrassment

I can see why they did it, but it's a disingenuous move for Twitter to try for common carrier status. Twitter's not at all like email or phone, which are private mediums, and it's not like ISPs, which are essentially just men-in-the-middle conveying transmissions.

Twitter's making massive efforts to analyse/monetize the content tweets, it can do a better job on preventing abuse via them, too.

xp

still a most reliable way for athletes to embarrass themselves

Oh I do certainly agree Twitter can do a better job, Stet.

i know it's the daily hate but i do support this name and shame tactic. should prove about a gazillion times more effective than #twittersilence

haha that guy on the boat

how come it's ok for caitlin to say 'rancid things' at 2am in the morning, or 'a long time ago' but it's not for anyone else?

It's not OK, hence the apology. But there is definitely a distinction, in terms of intent, between tweeting an offensive joke to a friend and tweeting abuse at a stranger. The former might be crass or unpleasant but it's not targeted.

Answering the door, she said he had been ‘very careful’ about the wording, and had even taken the trouble of checking the precise meaning of ‘a good rogering’ in a dictionary.

see we all shit on the Mail here and rightly so but sometimes you just want to kick back with some comedy detached prurience and they're the only UK paper that can do it convincingly

So much hate for Twitter. So much.
