I'm not one for any of the social app things but did join twitter a few years ago to follow that arab spring stuff which barely got a mention here except for a few sound bytes on the national tv news. Even Al Jazeera (which I guess doesn't exist in the u.s. anymore) didn't have all that much, probably due to "don't bite the hand that feed you" kind of logic with over throwing arab governments. The thing with Twitter which seems more logical to me would be if you could subscribe or "follow" a hash tag rather than having to search for it. Most people who post on Twitter seem to fall into that trap where they need to unload about the dog barking next door, pictures of crap they are eating, getting cut off in traffic. I mean if I wanted to follow #TittyTuesday, there should be some way for those with that hashtag to just come up in the feed rather than having to switch back and forth between the home and search areas. Either that or it's something I've been missing for years on how to do it. The thing is with Twitter recently is they are having problem keeping subscribers and gaining traction. Some of the other services like Vine and Instagram are more popular from some news stories. One thing to me about that is they keep fucking up the apps for it. The one for the mac running osx is still a fairly stoneage "it just does the basics" kind of thing but the ones for the iPhone and iPad are really getting annoying recently with the changes they keep trying to cram in. Way too much fucking advertising now with the "sponsored tweet" and other crap like "while you were away" which is supposed to be able to be turned off (doesn't work) makes it difficult to get to the real current time line. What I'm saying is, if they would just leave the fucking thing alone and work like the original intentions of it, people wouldn't be flocking away. -bruce bje@ripco.com
