Get some thinking done.

  • (A posting from 2013.) I'd like a little button on Twitter that would allow me to designate up to a dozen of my tweets to serve as an introduction to my main concerns, producing something like this: What's @KenSmith about? It's about these dozen tweets, the issues they raise, the small points they begin to make, the fuller resources they point to elsewhere.*#
  • As it is, Twitter pretty much relentlessly says, "You will not shape anything but the endless, ever-vanishing flow of tweets in our space. On our terms, not yours. With our goals in mind, not yours."#
  • *A grander version would allow a writer to link old and new tweets in a chain at any time--not just one of these, but any number of theme groups of tweets or tweets that add up to a story.#
  • Postscript, 2021. This old post reflects a long-standing dissatisfaction with essentially tossing content away, day by day, in the software functions Twitter has offered. Facebook has been worse, obviously. Thinking about ways of organizing content, organizing people, makes that clearer to me. #
