I'll take Twitter threads, which should've been blog posts for $100, please.

Parrrrrrtially disagree. Maybe it's because I'm used to Twitter for nifty info dumps like this, but threads like this can be fun, too.

You're seeing the discovery happen in realtime, and people can react and ask questions as it happens. It's quite enjoyable to see it all unfold if you catch threads like this happening.

Now, AFTERWARD, a more traditional blog post summing it all up would be nice. If the author has one, at least.


True. Foone's stuff is great if you happen to stumble upon it at the second they start the discovery. But because of the earth being round and us being on different sides of it, this never happens to me =)

Afterwards it's just tedious to wrestle with Twitter's shitty UX to get the whole thing.

Threadreader and its ilk are a good midway point, I'd still prefer for Twitter to have a native "make this tweetstorm a blogpost" button for those authors who don't do blogs for some reason.



I'll take a Twitter thread which would not have been a blog post or any other kind of format otherwise, thanks :)
