The whole point of Twitter is that people can communicate short messages, often live from the action, and occasionally with pictures. This rather absurd idea has been a boon in many situations and a bane for MP's and other criminals caught out by it.
Now however Twitter, in a money making desire, have altered the timeline chronology. No more do the words of wisdom appear in chronological order instead they arrive as Twitter chooses the 'Top Story' for you.
Pray tell how they know what my top story happens to be at any one moment?
This is a repeat of Facebook's desperate money making as they too insist on offering absurd 'Top stories' if you don't click the right button. All this does is make a mockery of the whole idea and now the new boss at the top of Twitter is doing the same.
I have Twitted to him my opinion (@jack I believe is his address) and informed him of my thoughts. It makes no difference but something needs to be done. Twitter has an important role in indicating whether football players will be fit for Saturday or not and therefore must be forced to work properly. They cannot be allowed to continue like this.
My kind of people!
I was going to go off into a wonderful description of my day but I have been interrupted twice by phone calls on my not very good new ansafone. At least it works even if only hesitatingly. Once I begin to understand what all the squiggles mean I will be able to fix the volume, remove the squeaks and work out how to hear the messages.
This could take some time.
Instead I am off to
Bah!
