Twitter X sounds like a porn site. I don’t get it.


Yea.. I very much appreciate what Elon has done with the platform, but he shoots from the hip with his ideas quite a bit. 
 

My guess is he wants X to become much more than what the Twitter brand was synonymous with, so this is him taking a short term hit to accomplish long term rebranding.

What has he done? It’s the same as it’s always been to me. Some small changes.

I still get all the info here.

 

But if you really need it, I think all these kids on here who use Twitter are getting the updated info faster 

 

Luckily I'm a non-participant in social media outside of this site. The information really isn't worth joining the cesspool that is Twitter/FB/tictac for. But it's nice that others wade through the garbage and are willing to share info here!

I think X forgot to throttle Tweetdeck, so still getting lots of tweets (Xs?) there.  But the real spot is here - why LOOK for tweets when someone will post the most relevant ones for ya?

 

Oh and Astro's reports, linked in its own thread...

Twitter works fine for me. Other than hating Musk, what issues are people running into with Twitter that have made it worse for obtaining Bills news?  Just curious since I never really used the platform other than following the links from the training camp report threads here.

I feel the same way, for the most part  Twitter is the proverbial race to the bottom / lowest common denominator cesspool.

I used to swear by Bleacher report. We are talking 10+ years. I used twitter too for immediate updates. Now both are terrible. Bleacher report is a Shell of itself. Can y’all list below where to get live updates:

 

(I now mainly use twobilllsdrive, have been for 10 years) but where are people and how are you getting live updates of practices (twitter is hard, BR no more, bills radio sucks). 

please list below:

 

I use Twitter.  One used to be able to not have an account and just view in a web browser, now it's broken if you don't have an account.

 

The best live updates of practice are Greg Tompsett (@GregTompsett) if he's there.  Cover1 is good.  Jon Scott (@JonScottTV).  Matt Bove (@Matt_Bove). 

 

Edit: add @AjayCybulski from Buffalo Rumblings.

 

Afterwards, AstroNotes are classic if he's there, they do a great job of giving one that 'flavor" of being there

Sal Capaccio https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/bills

Matt Parrino (nyup)

Joe Buscaglia (paywall, The Athletic) post camp reports pretty promptly

 

TBN seems to trend towards feature pieces rather than day-by-day updates, as far as I can tell - maybe I'm missing a reporter at TBN who does these.

 

It's important to note that the credentialed media evidently have restrictions about describing plays and so forth.

 

The uncredentialled attendees like Cover1, Astro, etc have the advantage that they didn't sign any restrictions so they say what they want.

Kinda broken it from my POV, but that's just me.  I don't think I'm their intended target market.

Where does this sense of urgency come from?

 

What if your information arrived 24 hours late?  What would be the problem with that?


You'd always be 24 hours behind, so for you, it would all be "new" information to digest anyway.

 

🤷‍♂️
