Twitter Could Use a Foundation

It is nice to see that Flickr's history is going to be preserved.

We joke and laugh (and maybe cry) about the state of Twitter these days, but it does make you think that maybe Twitter needs something like that in place as well.

None of our social networks have negatively affected personal writing/blogging/sharing as Twitter. For most (me included), writing in 140 to 280-character increments was easier.

I have been concerned over the years about the persistence of this content (as well as the discoverability). Knowing what has been shared on Twitter will be available (warts and all) is more pressing than ever.

One of my main drivers for the move to a blog-first approach like Micro.blog is that everything I write and share starts outside of Twitter, Mastodon, and whatever comes next.
