As I stare at my Twitter stream, I don’t feel like I’m staring at anything more substantial than data. Yes, it’s humans creating bits of information, but it’s humans behaving more like individual APIs than humans behaving like humans. As a consumer of Twitter, I find myself staring at that assembly line as product whizzes by. It’s nearly hypnotic and rarely impactful.
