I am a daily Twitter user (the key is to find interesting people, and to block annoying people), and I doubt I have seen more than a handful of tweetstorms over 20 and certainly not more than 50.

I've started following @SethAbramson for his analysis of the Muller investigation and a recent thread of his was over 130.

To be fair, even he hates it: https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/940658870808186881

> 1. I hate Twitter.

> 2. No one should be on Twitter.

> 3. I can't wait to no longer be on Twitter.

But using it gets him the reach he wants shrug.

I quit Twitter in '10 b/c of the 'social media consultants.' I recently started simply bookmarking specific accounts related to politics and propaganda. When certain Tweets get lots of comments, I read them all (up X,000s; yes, this is problem).

I'd be curious about your thoughts WRT to this thread, and the resulting 'threaded cache.'

And this was turned into:

Edit: I should add that I don't have a Twitter account anymore, just a lurker.
