Twitter's influence with journalists and media sharing in general seems to give it more influence than it's user base would suggest, though Facebook is much bigger. News articles don't usually link to Facebook, and on the other side, articles seem to become viral through Twitter.

Facebook also got rid of its newsfeed a few years ago, and doesn't seem to want people sharing news on its site at all.

I don't know guys. I realize Twitter is influential and more news driven, but it's so much smaller.

I don't know shit about shit, but am I correct in noticing that this survey of usage of social media platforms with a worldwide reach is limited to American responses?

It also filters out those young people who can't vote that spike was talking about.

When coke contained cocaine and everyone smoked, we had much healthier BMIs. Maybe add nicotine to soda and we can achieve a better equilibrium.

Guess it’s time for “watch Elon think he’s the smartest person in the room while being demonstrably dumb about something,” again.

How strong is google? They have an ISP, phones, servers, search, media... near complete vertical dominance. What are they missing? A bank? A military?
