Tweet 1500. John on Twitter. |
Adopting that assumption provides me with an excuse to obsessively examine every small detail in Vance's stories. I can imagine that Vance provided us with clues about the alien creatures that populate the nearby exoplanets of our galaxy: worlds such as Sogdian.

Looking back through my blog posts about Twitter, I see that it has been a year and a half since the "good folks" at Twitter started monkeying with my timeline. I still have to occasionally try to over-ride their meddling with the sequence of tweets that I see. It is one of those unavoidable little annoyances of life.
I recently saw a rumor suggesting that the owners of Twitter might sell out to the users of Twitter and that sounded like an interesting idea. If I owned a piece of Twitter, I'd vote to give users the option of a linear timeline, untouched by all the timeline monkey business that I've been subjected to for the past year and a half.
Realistically, it seems more likely that Twitter will simply go away. I never understood how they expected to make a profit.

1,000
I reached tweet 1,000 just about exactly 2 years ago. At that time, I had only designated 47 tweets by others as "favorites". At that time, I resolved to be more generous, and now I have 180 tweets that I have "favored" and "liked".
I suspect that part of Twitter's problem is that many of its users are like me, spending only a few minutes each day using the service. Will Twitter survive to 2019?
