Twitter

• The Twitter Follow Explanation Gist (and identical Medium post.)
  • Blocked by Kara Swisher, which was only resolved thanks to (yet again) Casey Newton
• “3 Reasons Your Twitter Follower Ratio Is More Important Than You Know | Inc.com”

If you follow more people than follow you, what you are in essence saying to that person is "I followed all these people, but only some of them found me interesting enough to follow me back."

Not only that, but you are also saying "Yes, I may have recently followed you, but don't take it too personally, I like to follow a lot of people, so really, the fact that I cared enough to follow you doesn't mean I am genuinely interested in what you have to say."

==Not doing great on the first impression scale...==

"Every social media platform has limits."

Clubhouse

• The "underrated rappers" room which was still overwhelmingly dominated by Big KRIT.

• NO THOUGHTS, HEAD EMPTY - The Third Culture Kids and their 100% sincere enchantment with the doge meme.

• "Metadata Mondays" From "The 808 Wave"

• "Clubhouse Feels like a Party" | The New Yorker

  There was something pleasant about meandering from conversation to conversation, as if I had walked into my own home to find a conference in full swing. But I also wondered, Why did I let all of these people into my house?

  ...

  It is hard to shake the feeling that everyone on Clubhouse is selling something: a company, a workshop, a show, a book, a brand.
