It worries me when I see “end of the open web” commentary, especially when the fediverse is trying to provide a moral solution to open web tech going forward. I can’t disagree with this guy’s pov… but from an indie publisher pov, I DO NOT want to hide away my work (eg for Cybercultural), I want it to be freely available. My current strategy is to make my posts as human-centered as possible, based on my own experiences and perspectives. Will that be enough to get click-thrus from AI search tho?

“What are you doing?” This was the prompt that Twitter users saw throughout 2007. It explains why so many early tweets were about eating lunch. To be fair, nobody knew back then how to do microblogging, the 2007 term for writing short posts — 140 characters or less in Twitter’s case. Along with Facebook and Flickr, Twitter was literally inventing social media. https://cybercultural.com/p/twitter-in-2007-key-facts/

I'm branching out into history lessons on Cybercultural -> Here are five things you might not have known about Twitter in 2007, the year it broke out as a leading social media tool. For starters, it was termed microblogging and the word 'tweet' wasn't yet common. https://cybercultural.com/p/twitter-in-2007-key-facts/ #InternetHistory #EarlyTwitter #Web20
