in A Tale of Two Twitters on danny brown - social media pr and marketing
While I think the post is great Danny, I have to say, your entire paragraph about why Twitter did this is not correct.

"The reasoning behind Twitter’s “meddling” with the reply system is that it can be confusing." - Twitter admitted their full of it and they just made this up because they were scared and lazy.

The reason Twitter did this is because it's overloading their servers and they are having major growing pains.

Other than that great blog post. :P

Danny Cheers Joel, although if you check the link to the Twitter blog post from last year, this was long before server issues and there was confusion reigning then.

And it can be confusing to new users - this is where Twitter does shoot itself in the foot, by not having a bona fide FAQ section. A lot of the ire could have been easily dispelled before it even begun.

in Lifecasting: What It Is and How It Will Change Society on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding

Honestly? I think you took the thoughts and words right out of my mouth. I often find myself trying to explain to the world what is coming to them in terms of lifecasting and many other things. Although I think some of your observations are a little exaggerated for even 5-10 years, I do believe what you may have exaggerated there are also things you have undersold. You are very in-tune to what is going on and I almost completely agree with you. Thanks for putting your thoughts all in one place. This is GREAT stuff. I will now become a faithful reader of yours because you think just like me. lol.


Quit doing so much crack, take a deep breathe and smoke a joint maybe?


Just kidding!
