+1 for a zombie emoji. Describes exactly how l feel right now. And no, staying up watching the Super Bowl isn’t the reason. 🤒

Catching up on Super Bowl highlights. Well done the @Broncos. If it’s Peyton’s last season, it has ended in the best way possible.

3/ The “while you were away” sections of the timeline are quite handy. I don’t have time to scroll all day. Do you? #twittertimeline

Social media isn’t the Internet. There’s a lot of people that don’t know that or they forget that.

6/ Reserve judgement for when you have used it. Until then, you’ve no facts to base your #riptwitter prediction on. Cheers. #twittertimeline

4/ If you’re threatening to leave Twitter over it then I do think you’re overreacting. Twitter isn’t a necessity in life. #twittertimeline

If Twitter was to stop tomorrow then I’m glad I still use an RSS reader to stay up to date with the people I like to follow.

Chicken Nuggets and Twitter

The perfect analogy of the relationship between Twitter and the user's of Twitter.

I don't think it's terrible or the end of the world. Life in a silo where you and I are the product. McDonald's doesn't ask the chickens whether they like the options for Chicken McNuggets. A similar thing. The main difference is the chicken probably couldn't say. Humans have opinions, feel disempowered, not heard, not loved, bored, and we like to be consulted. A good shitstorm provides temporary relief for all these ills. So for a while, venting, then life goes back to the normal humdrum.

Twitter's new timeline? by Dave Winer

5/ Also Twitter is free so while I might not agree with all of their new features I can’t really grumble. It’s free. #twittertimeline

2/ You can always opt out of using the new timeline as well. That’s good. #twittertimeline
