@soulellis @swissmiss Sure, not every good tweet. But I don’t mind the occasional intro to ones I may have missed. Whether I follow or not.
-
@soulellis @swissmiss For the record, favoriting has never been private. And not every good tweet gets retweeted.
-
@swissmiss If enough people with shared interests fave a tweet as a bookmark, that tweet might be worth surfacing to others, right?
-
@iA Something like that. And this injection is one that I’m not very comfortable with. At least, with this kind of attribution.
-
@iA Ah, key difference though. That’s not a fave from someone you follow. That’s injection for other reasons.
-
@timoni @endashes @iA Same for me for @mike_stellar. Same principle, slightly less rando since it filters through Mike’s graph.
-
@ux4science @benbrignell @iA Most if the knee-jerk reactions to this sound similar. I’ve yet to see full BS come into my stream.
-
@matty8r @deamplified @iA Possibly, a missed opportunity, until now.
-
@matty8r @deamplified @iA The act of favoriting on Twitter has never been tightly defined. That’s part of the beauty of it, right?
-
@iA 100% agreed. I don’t think this experiment limits the possible meanings in any way…
-
@matty8r @deamplified @iA Make it a setting (opt-in) is always the safe answer, but not often the right answer.
-
@stop @matty8r @deamplified @iA But I know what we struggled with while I was there. And I know what the data showed. Most users were not like me.
-
@stop @matty8r @deamplified @iA All this said, it’s still only an experiment, and one that I no longer have any inside knowledge of.
-
@stop @matty8r @deamplified @iA All without requiring the user to switch views. You and I will switch views (if we remember). Most users will not.
-
@stop @matty8r @deamplified @iA Faves can mean any number of things, but regardless of intent, there may be value to surfacing cluster activity.
-
@stop @matty8r @deamplified @iA Retweets are explicit signals that my followers should see this tweet…
-
@matty8r @deamplified @iA Of course, retweets help with that. But my network doesn’t always know about *every* tweet. Twitter does.
-
@Yarcom @iA Sure. Just saying that you tweeting about it may not be as big of a factor in which tweets it shows you.
-
@muellermm @iA That’s what you’d think. But there’s only so much attention that people are willing to split.
-
@iA For long-time users with carefully curated follow lists, that 1:1 mapping works well, and the injection frequency could be dialed down.
-
@Yarcom @iA Not sure, but I think that’s more a result of Ferguson being a current widely-discussed topic than just you talking about it.
-
@iA When I remember to switch to it, I frequently find good stuff there I would have missed otherwise. Issue is remembering to switch.
-
@stop @deamplified @iA Sure, I can see tweets that my follows fave in Activity. But I switch to that view infrequently.
-
@stop @deamplified @iA I shouldn’t need to follow everyone just for the chance that they tweet something really good.
-
@deamplified @iA I don’t see this as so black and white. Every day, I miss really good tweets from people whom I don’t follow.
-
@iA I’m thinking the opposite of dilution. Instead, it attempts to concentrate the tweets you may want to see in a short attention window.
-
@iA Understood. I think something more like “8 people you follow favorited…” would work better, and help you understand why it’s there.
-
@iA As I understand it, no, not everything. Only a tiny fraction of the tweets that your network favorites get injected into your stream.
-
@KuraFire I thought they were officially supposed to be relieved of duty a few days ago.
-
@marcoarment Speaking of, Overcast is really good. Simple. Useful. Love the notifications of new episodes too. Thanks for making it.
-
@shinypb This is why we never should have allowed CRs in tweets. cc @mikeindustries
-
@yarcom I believe ”It’s a feature, not a bug.” is the appropriate response here.
-
@stop @yarcom Also, I’m semi-accustomed to this already, because I follow @mike_stellar, and get all those tweets “injected” into my feed.
-
@yarcom Now *that* is something that feels very different. Injection without social context… it better be a PFG tweet.
-
@yarcom I think it could help with the anxiety that some people feel to follow everyone, lest they miss something good.
-
@krystynheide @yarcom Just favorited this tweet. Did I ruin everything? ;-)
-
@yarcom FWIW, with heavy viewing activity today, I’ve only seen two follow-favorited tweets, and both were very interesting to me.
-
@yarcom As has always been the case, you have to assume that all activity on Twitter (outside of DMs) is public, and fair game.
-
@yarcom @krystynheide It shouldn’t affect that. I don’t see them broadcasting every one of your faves. Wouldn’t make sense to do that.
