Did Twitter people complain so much that Twitter actually fixed its timeline thing it messed up a few days ago? Because that would be great (better twitter) and also scary (who knows what we’ll demand next?). — PolitiTweet.org

And last year, Grind’s reporting on misbehavior at Activision led to the game giant’s sale to Microsoft. https://t.co/x8yiNEHZ2l We talked about both stories. — PolitiTweet.org

.@KirstenGrind is a WSJ enterprise reporter, which means she routinely gets dropped into big stories and told to figure out stuff that no one else has figured that out. In 2020, it was the astonishing life and tragic death of Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. https://t.co/eftcYiERgQ — PolitiTweet.org

The last Zuck sxsw I recall was 2008, when we thought about Facebook very differently. (And lots of people didn’t think about it at all). https://t.co/xy9QW8VFEU — PolitiTweet.org

“Daymond John and Mark Zuckerberg will discuss what this future will look like, the foundational technologies required to bring it to life and the opportunities the metaverse could unlock for businesses, creators and individuals around the world.” — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Correction: Zuckerberg will be there virtually. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

News: Mark Zuckerberg returns to Austin for a SXSW interview Tuesday. It’s a crucial time for him: Russia/Ukraine, global regulatory pressure, damaged ad biz, future staked on a metaverse that won’t arrive for years, if ever. His interviewer: Shark Tank judge Daymond John. — PolitiTweet.org

@zeynep I hate complaining on Twitter about twitter, and even hardcore users get used to product changes over time, but this is lousy. I literally thought it was some kind of weird glitch the first time I saw it the other day. — PolitiTweet.org

Tired: under the breath muttering about post-pandemic restaurant staffing. Wired: out loud grousing about post-pandemic airline incompetence. — PolitiTweet.org

@skidder No of course not. But in this version you are paying for delivery to your house, and then paying again to have it shipped back, so very few people are actually going to do that. They’re still selling bikes on installment plans, just different marketing messages. — PolitiTweet.org
