Well at any rate, one of my teammates recently left his post as a VP at twitter and we're all meeting this weekend. Maybe I'll get some off the record answers after a few beers.

The email address I used to sign up to twitter is a new one, created just for this purpose. It is not linked to my name, to my identity, and yada yada yada all-of-the-above, I still get these recommendations.

You know what's weird? Near exact same thing w/ facebook. After I deleted my account, I booted up a skeleton account some months later just out of necessity - "like this to _____" - using a different email. It's recommending me people I fucking know! And it's a Gmail account.

Facebook are super creepy about this, though. Like, they'll recommend people who have used the same computer as you.

Wow. Yeah, I'm not one to believe privacy is an utterly sacred thing but some of this stuff vibes borderline illegal to me. What if advertisers contracted w/ Visa to keep track of what you're buying in order to advertise to you better? I'd be all for a fucking lawsuit.

The "Who to follow" section is making me ragey. More like "Who to throw down a well, so they'll never be heard from again" amirite.

i was worried i wouldn't have anything to complain about now that Qwikster is no more, but lo! at the top of my Twitter timeline there's some NFL "promoted tweet" that wasn't retweeted by any of my followers, but seems to be there just because...NFL paid Twitter some money to put it there? bullshitttttttt

Does anyone know if it's possible to do a hard return/paragraph break/carriage return on Twitter?i.e. I want to write something in list form, so that it appears as (for example):
1. Jordy - "Dur dur d'être Bébé!"2. Eleven Chalupas3. "Maybe Did a Animal Help Do 9/11" by Dr. Pahl T.T. Buuseh
Rather than:
1. Jordy - "Dur dur d'être Bébé!" 2. Eleven Chalupas 3. "Maybe Did a Animal Help Do 9/11" by Dr. Pahl T.T. Buuseh
Is that do-able?
― She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 13 October 2011 10:49 (twelve years ago) link
Hold "shift" down when pressing return.
― Mark G, Thursday, 13 October 2011 10:51 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think that your tweet will replicate the line breaks when posted. Not sure that this is possible.
― gay for gordon-levitt (krakow), Thursday, 13 October 2011 11:07 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah it does. Some clients display the carriage returns, some don't.
― Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 13 October 2011 11:08 (twelve years ago) link
Interesting. Is it similarly possible to get other text effects (for example bold, underline, strikethrough)? Do you happen to know what browsers support it?
― gay for gordon-levitt (krakow), Thursday, 13 October 2011 11:11 (twelve years ago) link
No rich text. All I know is some Twitter apps display line breaks. YoruFukurou (mac) does.
― Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 13 October 2011 11:42 (twelve years ago) link
Hmm... thanks. I don't Tweet using any apps; I just do it on my desktop using Firefox, and it doesn't seem to work there. I have seen posts in my feed from other people with the line breaks, who must be using something app-y to post. Thanks for the tips!
― She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 13 October 2011 12:11 (twelve years ago) link
Well, that's what I was saying. I use IE, and "Shift Return" does not terminate the message but inserts a line feed.
