Twitter and Posterous « MattMaroon.com

by znarf 1 comment (via)

I used to think Twitter would never catch on in the mainstream because it’s somewhat stupid. Now I realize I was exactly wrong. Twitter will catch on in the mainstream because it’s somewhat stupid. It’s blogging dumbed down for the masses, and if there’s one surefire way to build something popular, it’s to take something else that is already popular and simplify.

Twitter-Streetart: This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is!

twitterstreetart

Twitter-Streetart von Questionmarc (via Urban Prankster) mit einem bemerkenswerten Kommentar darunter.

Das ist schon sehr, sehr lustig. Es ist ja nicht nur so, dass ein paar Journalisten Twitter nicht verstehen und darauf rumhacken. Es ist auch so, dass sobald man irgendetwas über Twitter schreibt, steht mindestens einmal der Kommentar „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Twitter doch eigentlich ist.“ Jetzt könnte man sich ja denken, diese Twittmeckermentalität wäre ein deutsches Phänomen – da sah ich obige Streetart und darunter der Kommentar „This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is!“ Von wegen deutsch, das ist schlicht ein mentales Filterproblem der Rezipienten. Wenn ich die Worte „Fashion“ oder „Ballett“ lese, dann lese ich gar nicht erst weiter und ich schreibe erst Recht nicht einen Kommentar wie „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Ballett doch eigentlich ist.“

Ich glaube, dieser Satz offenbart die komplette Absurdität solcher Kommentare. Geht auch so: „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Blogs doch eigentlich sind.“ Bullshit. Ich kaufe mir auch keine Geflügelzüchtermagazine und beschwere mich dann, dass diese voller Geflügelzüchtercontent sind. Wenn man sich gerne und ausschließlich lange Abhandlungen zur Außenpolitik von Papua Neuguinea durchliest, wird man wohl schwerlich ein Fan von Twitter. Aber dann: Don’t fucking read it!

Ansonsten empfehle ich immer noch Julies Anleitung zum Glücklichtwittern: Twitter ist unnütz.

[update] Von Jeriko grade in den Kommentaren gepostet, auch sehr schön:

it’s a lesson in how the future of music is working -

fans are literally (and i mean that….literally) lining up at the signing table after shows and HANDING me cash, saying “thank you”.

i had to EXPLAIN to the so-called “head of digital media” of roadrunner australia WHAT TWITTER WAS. and his brush-off that “it hasn’t caught on here yet” was ABSURD because the next day i twittered that i was doing an impromptu gathering in a public park and 12 hours later, 150 underage fans - who couldn’t attend the show - showed up to get their records signed.

no manager knew! i didn’t even warn or tell her! no agents! no security! no venue! we were in a fucking public park!

life is becoming awesome.

I Just Quit My Job... Am I Crazy? - Harvard Business Online's Conversation Starter

by karlcow

I did the unthinkable yesterday. In the midst of this economic turbulence we're facing, I decided to leave my job to pursue some long-neglected passions of mine: studying foreign language, teaching, and something so self-indulgent I can hardly bear to utter it (writing). What I'm leaving behind is admittedly a middling (but respectable) career in publishing, but one, from the point of view of the working class people I grew up with, you just wouldn't throw away. My parents didn't go to college, and to them "pissing away" a decent salary is about as stupid a move as you can make.

Michael Moore est-il sincère ?

by tonio78
Bien que je l’ai un critiqué dans mon article sur le travail des enfants, je suis un ancien “fan” de Michael Moore. J’ai notamment adoré Bowling for Columbine, et l’histoire des États-Unis d’Amérique revisitée à sa façon. Mais, en surfant sur des sites Internet américains (tels que Moore Watch le plus ancien et Moore exposed qui lui est lié étroitement au livre Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man) peu après avoir vu ce film, j’ai appris que les “documentaires” de Michael Moore, étaient loin de faire l’unanimité aux États-Unis. Non pas parceque le film tournait en ridicule l’Amérique et la libre circulation des armes, mais parceque Michael Moore utiliserait des procédés malhonnétes.

Mobile Opportunity: App stores and APIs: It's the ecosystem, stupid

by karlcow & 1 other

It's the ecosystem, stupid The success of a developer program is not driven just by the beauty of the APIs or the store, but by how the overall ecosystem works to enable developers to prosper.

Unwinding the stack: back to the future, this time for real. How large Rails codebase as opposed to Merb and Datamapper?

by srt
I did some stupid meaningful calculations, it turns out that ActiveSupport alone is compared in size to Merb core, Merb more, Merb plugins, DataObjects, DM core and DM more together.

TwitterSnooze!

by kooolman
"It's a good tool to avoid a blast of tweets from a conference you are not attending... just snooze the conference goers for a few days. It's a nice way to get back at someone for saying something stupid... give them the silent treatment ;) It's a good way to ignore someone that just flooded your timeline for no good reason... but it was just a one-time offense and doesn't merit permanent unfollowing." Si ce système était possible dans la vraie vie ... :-)
