Twitter's original sin was putting the posting form above the rest of the conversation.
When you make people to scroll past your words before getting to the posting form, like on a blog, there's at least a chance they'll read some of them before talking back.
Unfortunately, most social media copied Twitter, not blogs, so they're about talking first and listening later (if at all).
This program posts news to thousands of machines throughout the entire civilized world. Your message will cost the net hundreds if not thousands of dollars to send everywhere. Please be sure you know what you are doing.
@fraying I never would have thought that where the posting form was put would make such a difference, but you’re right! We’ve gone from a convention where responses were after the content to one where the response has primacy over the content, and the level of discourse reflects that subtle change. Great observation.
@fraying@annaleen This whole thread. 💗 @monteiro come up to Oregon, draw while Derek dictates updates while making tinctures... I'll bake pies to feed you guys!
@fraying Oh goodness! I didn't remember the name, just love the photo every time it comes up in my random desktop images. No wonder I have such a positive feeling about pictures of sweet grown up Hershey! 💖🐐
