It was clear from the jump Musk didn’t understand the site he’d bought, but I’m still a bit surprised he doesn’t grasp that journalists are the main reason Twitter was more relevant than any number of other similar platforms. Can easily imagine looking back on this as a tipping point.
@normative yep! Twitter was the best way to get an aggregated set of news across multiple sectors (business, politics, entertainment, tech) directly from the people writing it. If I just want to argue with someone, I can go to Reddit (or Tumblr…. Or…insert other social media here)

@Downfroggy @normative Exactly. Which is why I'm counting the days until Christopher Bouzy's Spoutible.com pre-beta is rolled out.
