It's certainly interesting to read about new efforts to bring about PoS in a way that isn't another dPoS take...

But wow, I don't usually care about chained tweets, yet I can't help but to notice this being 75 tweets long (!?) This isn't just banter type of stuff or responding to tweets, it's a research history recap, something that'd be nice to be searchable a month from now. Amusingly he links to his own blog posts during all this (1). I wonder why he wouldn't just use that? :/

Yeah, this is really pretty obnoxious to read. It also gives the impression that the content is inconsequential if it's just a series of tweets and replies.

OTOH, it's more likely that tweets are being read than long boring text of wall blog posts.

One advantage of tweets is that you can link better to a specific part you want to. We still can't link to an arbitrary location in a HTML document if the author hasn't put down anchor links.

When a text is too long and boring, the solution is to make it short and interesting, not to post it on a platform that is designed to be so addictive that people can't resist reading it. But yes, being able to link to and highlight individual pieces is nice.

I guess this varies a lot depending on the person.

I find long but well written texts addictive, and Twitter anything but engaging.

I read one tweet, and may be three answers at most. And only because the tweet was linked from somewhere else.

I would trust these tweets to still be visible in 10 years more than one individuals blog being around

[rrampage]

maybe twitter itself will be around. But as a private platform, it can block content and boot people out at its discretion, which is a different can of worms...

I would argue that this is an awesome way to write a story. The same way you would enjoy reading a story written as a series of reddit comments.

Where is the data though? Certainly some experiments/simulations would validate these ideas.
