Just read @MattPRD on viral network growth. Hoped it'd answer my Q on finding interesting strangers' tweets. Nope :( medium.com/better-humans/…
November 2013
@MattPRD Twas a good article though! :D
@CMoz Wow. Oh man, I'll be in Waterloo in April. We could hang out. Although maybe, you know, you want to see friends and family :P
@CMoz Okay cool! Well, good luck, and definitely let me know if you get in.
@psobot Dude that's awesome. Needs a big infinity symbol onscreen for advertising purposes :P @foreverfm @Pebble

@Sorrell Seems like you're basically getting users to make micropayments via their power bills. ...great for gamer kids whose parents pay!
#ThatMomentWhen the BART train pulls in to the station and you see someone really cute fly by. You COULD run & get on that car, but, err...
@Sorrell Honestly I'm doubtful that this is cost-effective now. Mining Bitcoin is hard for ASICs. Would have rocked 2-3y ago tho.

What if you stored all of your snapchats in your memory palace?
.@donovanable Like would they ping the other person and be like "Yo they stored that image in their brain permanently!"
OH: "At a startup you wear many hats, so you often do stuff you're not best at. But at a big company..."<< not appealing to a multidisciple.
.@MattPRD I'd like to hear about strategies for finding smthg specific to offer those from whom you want to make requests (so its ≠onesided)
@tralexanian Thoughts: you might add #worthit or #notworthit to article tweets, and add "and for future reference" to your bio.
The worst communication is no communication. Provided, that is, you genuinely do have the person's best interest in mind.
I found my reaction interesting when I recognized @OfficialSnowden's avatar as that pic that was all over the media. Feels like a mugshot.
