Re: tweet links?

[kentuck]

One sentence from an unknown person hardly qualifies as newsworthy to me.

I see a lot of threads that look interesting but when you open the thread, there is another link to a "tweet". For me personally, they are usually a waste of time. Can't we do more than a link to Twitter? Description? Anything?

1. Agreed. n/t

2. I agree. And some have been shown to be fake twitter accounts.

I think DUers should find the news source which is the basis for the tweet, and post that source. A tweet is only worthwhile if the writer has something pithy to say about verifiable information.

3. True.

It's mostly a nuisance.

5. Maybe you should propose a rule to Skinner, et al. NT

4. Maybe a forum could be opened just for Tweets.

Some DUers and I have discussed requesting a GD forum for 45 scandals. It seemed pretty evenly split.

6. There is a forum

It's called Twitter

[Ilsa]

7. LOL. Too bad many DUers don't know how to use it. NT

8. Lol!

They could always use that thing....called Google..

9. Now, I usually only post a tweet that contains a video...

that can't be copied and pasted into the post. I put (video tweet) in the title so that people will know it is a tweet.

I don't mind a few tweet posts, but we are being spammed with them in the last few days.
