Honored to work for a company that so adamantly believes in the open exchange of information. The Tweets Must Flow blog.twitter.com/2011/01/tweets…

NASA managers demanded that teams prove “it was *not* safe to launch rather than prove conditions *were* safe.”

@willpolley It’s just scary to me how incomplete data can fatally deceive a whole crew of some of the smartest people in the world.
-
@willpolley No – in fact, I get choked up a bit each time I think about that. If only they had known more…
-
25 years ago today, the smartest astronauts in the world made a decision (based on incomplete data) to continue their mission.

@hemeon For a smaller subset of people than everyone who had one in the past, yes, I think it still makes sense.

@playgrounddad My wife recently posted a weekly meal planner + grocery list (PDF) on her site: frugalday.com/misc/whats-for…
-
@TimHaines It’s a communications platform, social connections, information now, what matters to you, distributed presence & awareness.
-
@TimHaines I’m not yet convinced that’s possible…
-
@tomcoates Yep. That’s the issue. There are enough ways to find value that it defies a one- or two-word description.
-
@mko Maybe ability to display inbound mentions + my tweets or a search query at the same time, then cherry-pick from the combined sets.
-
@shaneguymon And how’d it go? We’re focused on how we scale conversations like that to millions of people.
-
@15Swaveyboi Read the bio, it’ll tell you.
-
@Rustin Yep – just trying to keep dialogs going to make people think about this – it’s certainly not as simple as a micro-blogging service.
-
@Rustin Admittedly, we’re still converging on that. So far, it defies a simple one- or two-word description.
-
@antonpeck Yeah, yeah. Note most of my tweets in that conversation were created on my iPhone.

@freaksngeeks Hint: it’s not #F00.
-
@herbnerder Love it.
-
@tdaloisio @anildash Exactly. That’s my point.
-
@anildash It’s enough of a story that the majority of folks we ask why they’re not on Twitter respond with, “I don’t have anything to say.”
-
@aworkinglibrary @anildash Do you refer to the Times as a publishing or writing service? If everyone had to write to subscribe, would they?
-
@h3h @Iconmaster We’re not defining it – our users are. The media just hasn’t caught up to how the service has evolved.
-
@anildash I’m not saying you ignore it. Just saying it’s time for the media to stop pigeonholing it as a publishing service.
-
@jina If more people are creating accounts only to consume, rather than publish, then yes, same applies. I don’t think that’s the case yet.
-
@anildash True for folks like you & me. But to continue to call it that ignores the fact that more and more people get value sans publishing
-
@tamashii Posting, yes. But what about just reading them?
-
@Iconmaster My problem is that term (used in the media) is a smaller and part of the whole, and it paints an incorrect picture for non-users
-
@jhubert For you, yes. But what about the people who come to read your thoughts, without ever tweeting? To them, it’s not publishing.
-
@Bretton Bingo. So you wouldn’t call the blog you’re reading a blogging service, it’s just a site you read, and get value that way.
-
@snookca Exactly. Labeling it as only one-sided (blogging, publishing) misses that point.
-
@snookca Increasingly, people are not flocking to Twitter to tweet. So it does miss the point substantially to pigeonhole it as publishing.
-
@Iconmaster It’s not a matter of marketing. It’s how we see use naturally evolving. No need to fight it.
-
@tmsweet Yes! But not everyone needs to publish. It’s fine just to consume. The pressure to write or share is too much for some folks.
-
Calling it blogging, micro-blogging, or even a tweeting service implies you need to publish to get value. This is no longer true.
-
@MrCCMiller A synonym would be a stretch. But the point is that you no longer need to tweet to find value.
-
@twotribes Auto-correct had my back. I had to look it up to verify that it was correct. ;-)
-
@snookca Blogging, or micro-blogging – both miss the point entirely.
-
@kyle What size screen are you viewing? I’m a little concerned swiping to move around a 27″ iMac.
-
Blog is short for web log. Blogging is the act of writing & updating a blog. To call Twitter a “blogging service” reveals naïveté.
-
@MulderMedia Has been in SF for the past few weeks. Time for a move?
-
@kevinweil I didn’t even see it – my trigger finger found the “skip ad” link before the ad even loaded.
-
@kyle Curious to hear how that goes.
-
@monkchips Ah, makes sense. Worth while considering placing the Actions button there, instead of Lists button.
