Twitter is shoved down our throats because every time you go to a news site they embed it into their articles. Twitter is a success because journalists are addicted to it despite constantly complaining about how shitty it is.

It’s really wild to go from real life, where I don’t know anyone who uses twitter, to online where people are very interested in what’s happening to it.
Do these people not know a ton of viewership for news shows is that the channel is just on? Who’s gonna go to twitter and watch Don Lemon talk about stuff if they have to seek it out? Maybe they think it’s a built-in audience because people are there so surely they’ll watch?
Basically it’s content that expires quickly that isn’t “just on” anywhere. I’m no genius but I wouldn’t count on it working.

What journalist wouldn’t love a giant repository of short, easily digestible, up to the minute quotes, with built in attribution?

In Norway less people use Twitter then fucking teletext Image
Yet it’s in the media all the time

That screenshot is old enough to drink. Do people actually still use teletext?
