Twitter was my first social media love. 15 years ago, I remember the day! I logged on and promptly had no idea what I was doing. But I stuck around, figured stuff out along with everyone else, and 8000 followers later (give or take) I had found myself immersed in a network of communication, conversation, and camaraderie.
I've been a Twitter lurker for a couple years, but always felt a certain hostile distance from the platform--even before EM took over. As your piece rightly says, Twitter's recent trainwreck needs to be kept in perspective. Remember when we all cried over the death of MySpace in the late-oughts?
When you're right, you're right.
