It’s accomplishing a better user experience for many reasons. The integrity of the original tweet is saved (if you want to add comments, just send your own tweet) You can easily [...]

By brad | Published: October 10, 2009
A couple weeks ago I sat on a panel at 140tc that was moderated by Guy Kawasaki about brand building on Twitter. There was a lot of great insight by all the panelists, and I had a great time in the conversation. However, there were a couple of disagreements that I wanted to elaborate on. The [...]

Revealing the public consensus to the simple question of “what are you doing?” is one of the most enjoyable parts of being a part of Twitter.
