I’ve previously written two versions of this post, talking about Twitter’s downfall and my thoughts on successors. So I thought I’d go through the good, the bad, and the buggy. In the last week alone, Elon rate limited Twitter, made it so that you had to login to see tweets – which resulted in Google…
It was only a month and a half ago I blogged about what was going on with Twitter and what was next on the horizon with social media. While I think we all predicted that Twitter was on the decline, I don’t think that anyone would have foreseen just how quickly things would devolve –…
With Elon in charge of Twitter, a lot of changes have happened in the last week. He decided that anyone who wanted to be verified could pay $8 a month, defeating the purpose of verification. Elon fired employees who are responsible for things like accessiblity. He fired the ethics team, who had focused on the…
So I was browsing my Twitter feed when I started to see a friend of mine tweet at someone I’ve blocked. (Yes, you can probably guess who it was that I’ve blocked on Twitter) We have a lot of mutual friends on social media, but I haven’t seen ANYTHING in a year. So I’m assuming…
I’m the first to admit, I’m not a social networking guru. Though really- anyone who calls themselves a guru probably isn’t an actual expert. (I’m not an expert, but if I were, I would never call myself a guru) What I am is someone who has been on Twitter for 6 years now. Six years!…
I know, I’m not an expert on Twitter. I don’t have a zillion followers. But I do use Twitter regularly, and follow a wide variety of people- friends, companies, celebrities. After almost 5 years on Twitter (I know, I can’t believe it), I’ve set up these rules for myself that I use as a little…
The following contains MASSIVE spoilers for “A Good Man Goes To War”, the mid-season finale for Doctor Who. Here is your River Song warning, sweeties. Spoilers!
Yes, I am The Wired Mom. Not just because of my addiction to caffeine, but because I don’t seem to go anywhere without my phone or my laptop. Need I remind everyone of my birthday weekend, where TheBoy and I rejoiced because they had free wifi at our hotel? Anyways, I use Twitter. I joined…
Twitter’s taken a sharp backslide in the time since Elon Musk purchased the social media platform. Elon immediately began firing staff, trying to backpedal on Twitter policies – and lost a lot of advertisers in the process. The latest in this series of missteps was entirely preventable, and frankly, it’s hilarious. Twitter’s had a sharp…
Every so often, I feel like I have to step forward to talk about the concept of collateral damage. Because there are a lot of people who proudly describe themselves as progressives, leftists… or just not being conservatives – that seem to have zero concept of what collateral damages are. I remember people I thought…
