Twitter Week: 2009-06-13

  • Yep, #twitter is a performance art more than a participatory or discourse system: http://tr.im/nEMD #
  • Common wisdom and the symmetry of popularity: http://tr.im/nEZh (via @andrew_chen, @jhong) #
  • @neilhimself So would that be the blessed schizophrenic duality of the beast or merely a squared beast, perhaps framed in fearful symmetry? in reply to neilhimself #
  • Piracy becoming the centre: http://tr.im/nJdZ If you outlaw piracy, only everyone will be a pirate. Ergo, you become what you resist. #
  • Blind search engine result testing: http://blindsearch.fejus.com/ Surprised? #
  • No, this is the onset of active data. RT @hnshah: RT @timyoung The web “page” will soon be dead. It’s days are numbered. #
  • @seo1970 And are the cows winning? Told Michael last night to not make a decision on the render, but to paste-up a real box. Light dawned? in reply to seo1970 #
  • @seo1970 Send me an URL? in reply to seo1970 #
  • http://twitpic.com/6zs9s It seems the hummingbird eggs by my door have hatched. http://twitpic.com/6zseh #
  • Google Wave’s success rests on its LCD OSS foundation? MS’s Mesh tied too hard to proprietary product stack? http://tr.im/nXIe #gwave #
  • Fiddled with Jeremiah Lee’s #Kindle during Tahuantinsuyu. Great human factors. The data-trap (Amazon dies, so does your Kindle) scares me. #
  • Do you know where you are? Really? Seen the Milky Way lately? Context is everything for a sense of life’s relative scales. http://tr.im/nZPb #
  • Here Cthulhu, here boy! Come on boy! That’s my little Cthulhu! Want a Care Bear for din-dins? http://tr.im/o69z (via @neilhimself) #
  • I’m off to meet the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of, umm, 18TN? B&O? Gimme my damn poker chips back, and no, you can’t have that many! #18xx #
  • Neighborhood pot boiler. RT @newscientist:Supervolcano under Mount St Helens may be cranking up for a biggun http://bit.ly/2HMDH #
  • The ranting on Rubicon’s offices is BS. They’re not an engineering/tech company, they’re market-driven media and they’re optimised for that. #
