Anyway if you'd like to come to my TED talk about how the death of Google Reader and the overall failure to adequately replace RSS with a more extensible yet open, standard method of distributing headlines has led directly to our 2021 media environment, tickets will cost $5/month — PolitiTweet.org

I always joke that most tech can be explained with Taco Bell: same ingredients, new ways of combining them. Twitter has a bunch of ingredients now and some of them are really good, but will it make a Chalupa or Doritos Locos? — PolitiTweet.org

So it may be that the best option is to build it into some kind of news viewer inside the Twitter app or website. Or maybe just make a whole separate app. Which would be like a Twitter News App but also a feed reader but also Twitter but also it receives newsletters? — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I'll be very curious about is how Twitter intends to use (or abandon) Scroll's model of using a third party cookie to tell websites not to serve you ads. It's a weird hack but it totally works -- but it's also likely not long for this world given the cookiepocalpyse — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter is collecting all the pieces it needs for a subscription service catered to the Very Online. But how it will mix those services, present them, and charge for them is really still tbd. Speaking of the Very Online, RIP Nuzzel. https://t.co/4X7ibqDkIx — PolitiTweet.org

If you think about it the scene where Yoda lights the tree on fire and Luke admits that strict adherence to traditional interpretation of the text is wrong is sort of a muddled callback to Luther seeing a tree struck by lightning so Star Wars is the Protestant Reformation — PolitiTweet.org

Wondering if anybody who works on the Reminders app on macOS has ever tried to change the due date or time on a reminder because based on my research trying to do that the answer is nah.

I’m late but here’s a take: Verizon Supercookies have a new recipe, hopefully. Though I wonder if that 10% investment involves any data sharing. Would be nice if the FTC would think of the Supercookies. https://t.co/w8gJAHeJF9 — PolitiTweet.org
