Merlin Mann wins the internet with 23 toots

At the risk of irony and meta, I’m posting @hotdogsladies’ 23 tweets about the serial tweeting of subjects which may have made great blog posts. Since the BlackBird Pie hack doesn’t work on Tumblr (it gets messy), here goes (remember, these were on 23 individual tweets)

Feature request:

Sometimes on Twitter, this thing happens

where somebody has twenty-three toots in a row,

which would constitute an awesome post—

_on An Actual Blog_.

But.

Presented as twenty-three disjointed Twitter posts,

it’s really not as effective.

And, at least for me, it’s usually a little noisy.

So,

I kinda wish I could throttle seeing “≥ x toots over y minutes.”

Because—again, *for me*—

it’s like trying to read _Remembrance of Things Past_ in Morse code.

So. Not a huge issue.

Certainly not an unfollow-level issue.

But, throttling would be a nice feature on Twitter.

Because, even when their content is thoughtful and super-smart,

a diarrhea of 23 toots can be a little noisy.

At least for me.

So, yeah. Feature request. “Twenty-three” is a lot of toots.

[And don’t get me started on the subsequent surfeit of “at” responses]

[[Seriously. Don’t get me started.]]
