Twitter C/D

Change pw and enable two step verification.

also, go into 'settings' and make sure that the only apps that have access are ones you're familiar with and still use.

^^ that is a very good one, too.

ya its usually via apps is my understanding, no one prob actually has yr login infos

The clearest indication that the tweet is a form is the fact that there are people who write beautifully in it who can't write anything else

truth

wait... was she writing about herself

j/k i like your poetry trish

on twitter

burn

well i just unfollowed abt 300 people

i feel abt the same

chaki is butthurt you unfollowed him btw

aw man

i never see him in my TL tbh

like i mostly unfollowed accounts of people who've unfollowed me, biz/companies/firms i'm not into anymore, and people i never really see tweet much, and dude was in there

he'll be ok

lol

lol

so after noticing that she follows a bunch of ppl i follow, i checked and yoko ono follows nearly 1 million accounts

maybe i don't know about twitter best practices but this is kinda weird to me

are there any other verified accounts following a number of ppl?

some people just follow everyone who follows them

ghostly international (the label) follows everyone who follows them. i guess who cares if it's not account that's actually going to read any tweets.

yeah i guess if you're using twitter just for broadcasting there's not much need to look past your @ mentions

wonder if it might be "negatively impactful" on your "brand" because it makes you look "spammy" but idk what the accepted social media wisdom is about twitter follower ratios.

when someone follows me how has like 5k followers and follows 5k people i never check on them

why would u unfollow someon for never being on your TL??

its cool to only follow a few ppl

I follow 772. That's about all I can take.

i think it's cool to only have a few followers, also, like maybe ~70?, all the best people, the most singular, they are just quietly, personally tweeting their life to a coterie of interested friends

so how abt this blue line huh

causing quite a stir

i like it. i often read a TL hours back into it rather than check it regularly, so it's good for me. i don't think basically anyone else uses twitter like that tho

like it too, i like seeing conversations

not sure why its blue tho

it had to be something. black frames the tweets. twitter bird is blue rite?

blue is generally associated w links tho

I only look at twitter through tweetbot, so I will never see this line.

does anyone else remember when they did this before, for about a day, and then got rid of it? or have i gone nuts?

also, it doesn't really work with more than two people, does it? twitter conversations get muddled too quickly for it to make sense.

i only really use ~twitter~ on my phone and i hate it

tweetdeck has the open/close convos which i like much more

my line is red rather than blue, idk what that says about me.

the new conversation view doesn't work with the conversations on my tl - people aren't having then in a strictly linear you-talk-then-i-talk way. i wish twitter could have rolled it out w/ an opt-out option.

i can't see any blue lines or red lines?

only blurred lines

you joke but as we type some enterprising youtube guitar comedian is writing a blurred lines/twitter conversation view "parody"

also, lex, they don't roll out new features to all users at once, so it's likely it just hasn't got to you yet - often it doesn't happen until you start a new twitter session (by logging in or by starting up yr browser and opening the twitter website)

who is the least famous person to have a verified account and the most famous person not to

Off the top of my head? Caitlin Moran remains unverified.

Hilarious if it turns out it's not her.

did they just do another update? no more "me" tab, and going to the "@" tab takes me straight to mentions, rather than interactions

https://twitter.com/HassanRouhani/status/375278962718412800 this dude (and it is he) is unverified

this is kinda interesting

Mohammad Reza Sadeq, an advisor to Rowhani, has said that the tweet is false, as the president has no Twitter account, according to the Persian language version of Deutsche Welle, a German news organization.

Rowhani’s Twitter account could be run by the media office of Rowhani’s presidential campaign team.

As the election has been over for some time, “it raises the question of whether the people running the account continue tweeting in an official or unofficial capacity and whether or not they coordinate directly with Rouhani or his office,” according to the Washington Post.

Iran-watchers suggest that the president may be keeping the account semi-official to deflect criticism by internal hard-liners while at the same time showing good faith toward the West, said the U.S.-based daily.
