Your rules about who you follow and why don't interest me. You thought about the "proper" way to use a given social media service are irrelevant. Because social media is different for each user.
The only rule in Twitter is that you must follow 5,000 people or you are less of a person.

Oh thank you! That's what I dream of: a user-centered web. Interests and neighborhood. To quote Louis: "To each their own."

I'm going to quote this on my Tumblr. Srsly.

Hi, <social media user>, here you rule!
- Chris Baskind
Can you imagine how rude it would be to explain to your real life friends exactly why you spend time with some and not others, under what circumstances, blah blah blah blah, ad nauseum? That would be the worst dinner party ever.

Heather: Then please correct the typo: "Your thoughts ..." That'll teach me to post in a huff. ;-)
- Chris Baskind
Why are we able to edit comments, but not posts?
- Jason Wehmhoener
Jason: That's probably why people stopped showing up to my dinner parties.

I actually asked the same question to Kevin (@kfury) about one of his posts and Paul Buchheit said that it's very doable, and that they'll work on it :)

Of course it's each to their own, but it takes some time to work out what one's own is. People seem quite happy to join in when musing about how one should deal with these social media thingies.
- Michael C. Harris
@directeur , yes its doable,- however the unique URI created is not undo able.. its the same with blog titles too..you may change the txt but the underlying link never changes. so if you mouse over the link, you can actually see whatever the person had as the original txt.
- Peter Dawson
@Peter Dawson (slashpd): Actually what counts in that URI is the ID of the entry, you can append any slug you want at the end, you can try and see. Here's an example: http://friendfeed.com/e... :)

actully now, I am looking at the formed URI and the ID of the entry. the ID entry seems to be hashed out from the txt itself.. not sure on the encoding of ID. So it looks like <whatever/edfed2c2-ef04-46c5-8758-d2f567c25dd5/titletxt> so if you change the TXt, there could some sort of dups found on a hashed ID . Each ID has to be unique
- Peter Dawson
I'm going to unsubscribe from every third person who liked this and subscribe to every commenter with greater than 15 words but less than 30. Those are the rules.
- Andrew Smith
@Peter Dawson (slashpd): Sure! But maybe that ID is a timestamp and a user ID merged together or something too... who knows? :) Anyway, if it gets stored in a DB and it's unique it'll be easy to edit the entry
- directeur
from NoiseRiver
@Peter Dawson (slashpd): Oh wait, it can't be a hash of the message text. Copy paste Chriss post and create an entry, it will have a new ID

@Directeur.. who cares ..as long as they give use edit title feature .. LOL ..:)-
- Peter Dawson
@directeur, yes you correct, I was wrong. it does create a new ID.. !
- Peter Dawson
I'm not as interested in folks' rules, but I am most interested in people who used to follow me, but don't anymore. Was it something I said? Or was it just the child porn? Loosen up, you damn prudes! ;)
- Anthony Citrano
@Peter Dawson (slashpd): :) Anyway, you're right too! as long as they offer us that feature... who cares about their internal storing/hashing whatever ;-)

@Anthony Citrano (acitrano): ... just the what what? :D
