need a definitive listen to fave ratio1 listen != 1 fave

the closest equivalent would probably be the bullshit "impressions" number that gets thrown around but that's a simple calculation of followers who may have scrolled past it in their timelines afaik

radio has a captive audience, what if u were forced to read twitter and RT stuff 45 mins twice a day
who is marcos on twitter
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 15:58 (seven years ago) link
kinda captive but kinda not? partic in 2016? in any case even if you consider that many ppl are doing other things while listening to the radio - shopping, building a house, doing the dishes, driving - there is a pretty strong case that the attention is more focused, more sustained, and results in more loyalty than scrolling past one tweet among many
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:01 (seven years ago) link
i mean, you have to be listening to something in the car, radio is the default and most ppl are lazy and still in 2016 not that good at technology
also whenever i listen to the radio they just talk about twitter
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:04 (seven years ago) link
there's a big wall in every room that has tweets just scrolling on by
twitter's "important/interesting tweets at the top, no chronological view of all tweets from people you follow" experiments are kind of orthagonal to radio? you get a snapshot of content from when you look at it but it's variable depending on when you happen to glance
do you guys use tweet markers or w/e that let you start reading where you left off or just dive into the recent tweets and scroll backward until you lose interest?
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:07 (seven years ago) link
the default twitter client makes it basically impossible. i tried to use tweetbot but ultimately it just sucked too much
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:14 (seven years ago) link
I still enjoy Twitter and am on it a lot. I just don't use the Twitter homepage or app, which both are complete crap. I want my Tl chronological, without suggestions, adds, "top tweets" and all that bullshit. Tweetbot for me on iOS and Mac.
Tweetbot remembers where I was catching up in my Tl, which works as a marker (across platforms, too).
Recently I've started deleting old convos and tweets, every week or so. I think of it as being in a bar, having a convo. If I were to go into the bar the next day my words of the day before won't still be echoing there either (one hopes). And this works for me. Do you guys delete?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:14 (seven years ago) link
I follow too many ppl to read all the tweets. just tap in, read the feed till i feel nauseous, check out what my fav accounts tweeted in the last few days. don't really care about chronological or algorithmic
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link
tweetbot here, too. it takes a second if I've switched from phone to computer to sync where I left off but works pretty well
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link
i make no attempt to read all the tweets lol guys embrace the cascade
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:20 (seven years ago) link
or just dive into the recent tweets and scroll backward until you lose interest?
yea thats what i do
― marcos, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:21 (seven years ago) link

yea
there are too many tweets to read them all
― marcos, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:22 (seven years ago) link
I don't follow enough ppl I guess!
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:25 (seven years ago) link
follow at least 700 imo
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:26 (seven years ago) link
ive prob said this on here before but one thing that made twitter way better for me was i unfollowed almost all organizations and now mostly only follow actual people
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:27 (seven years ago) link
i hate lists and have a second twitter account that's just to follow art collectives and music labels and stuff
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:29 (seven years ago) link
it's like my professional account, if my profession was following fashion/music/deep thoughts

now that i think abt it i use twitter for personal/joke/weirdo type stuff and simultaneously as a journo/political replacement for google reader. there's a lot of crossover but hmm
i have a feedly account and i never look at it :/
― goole, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:32 (seven years ago) link
yeah I have a subscription to some google reader replacement thing and never look at that, either. idk if the moment for aggregation like that has passed because of twitter or what
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:33 (seven years ago) link
twitter + too many tabs + delete the tabs w/o reading = google reader

need to do this
update: my tweet's got a second win... at this rate may outpace other tweet in hours
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:39 (seven years ago) link
this universal acknowledgment that nobody reads links combined with people trying to write blog posts through a series of numbered tweets (you know they're going to be good when someone drafts nothing and starts with 1/X) is really the worst

i strongly believe that 90% of text on internet shouldn't be written in full paragraphs prose form but are better expressed as just like, idk pullet points, like it's so annoying to read writer-ing over and over again, so tweetstorm is a welcome step towards that tho obviously really impractical and terrible in a lot of other ways

best iOS 10 feature is auto-expanding tweets if you message the url to someone
so many times wanted to bother non-twitter users w/tweets but you know they're not going to click on a url and taking a screenshot and sending is so bad

Isn't he violating twittiiquette by not doing it as a retweet or something? I find Twitter illegible so I'm not sure if I'm reading this right. Twitter is really like my rubicon whereby I cross into being an Internet old man.
