Retina Technology Blog: Why twitter works.

  • Matt Miller · 1 year ago
    Couldn't agree more. I was lamenting the demise of IRC just last week, but didn't discover Twitter until this morning. So far my favorite feature is "Track." It's fascinating to see the community's varied responses to the same topic -- a twitter.com outage tonight.

    Yup. That about covers it. Minor disagreement with the history of the use of @. That's been going on in blog comments for as long as there have been blog comments. I think the migration was in the other direction.

    Wow your comments are dark grey on black.

    I've seen "@user: blabla" in blog comments way before I'd even heard of Twitter.

    If one influenced the other at all, I'd say it's the other way around.

    You know, there still are DDials active via telnet...

    Check out http://www.cultoftheoldschool.com for a list of currently active DDial, STS, GTalk, CS, and BBS systems. Register and become part of the cult! Were trying to bring back the old school ;)
