That's too harsh. People don't go to twitter for lengthy paragraphs or op-eds. They go there for concise humor, news and generally just to find out what is happening with the world.

You're ignoring the real-time connectivity that twitter offers to the entire world. No other platform comes close.

And sometimes, this concise thought platform is not enough to share an in-depth thought. Hence, this.

My only complaint here is that this took way too long. Things must move really slow at twitter.

Nope. Snapchat is almost unusable on Android right now.

Compared to instagram's stories, which loads up in an instant, Snapchat takes its own sweet time. They made the mistake of not paying enough attention to android in the beginning. And now they are trying to fix their mistake. It is a timesink; but they brought it upon themselves.

Delightful cause behind muscle atrophy. Annoys me on a daily basis because I have to keep working out to maintain my shape, but makes so much sense once you see why it is the way it is.

I find this viewpoint too narrow. Just because you can name only 3 Roman emperors does not diminish or impair their 'greatness' of the rest.
I'm really curious to see if the negative effects of a night of sleep deprivation/poor sleep could be offset by some naptime in the day.

What?
Just because you don't derive utility from a product doesn't mean it's not 'real' tech. Twitter is basically the news medium for me and most of my friends at school. I cannot remember the last time I went to read a news article from a site other than (mostly) twitter.

Looks really sketchy as well.
