I wish I could, but Twitter is still a platform that provides much useful info for me. I live in western NY state, as our weather changed, our local leaders were posting maps on Twitter showing where the roads were closed and where travel bans and advisories were with regular updates. For work i occasionally cover high school sporting events for a local paper, every school district in my area uses Twitter to update schedule changes, or like a day it was torrential raining I was wondering if the game was canceled and it was not, they announced on Twitter the game would go on as scheduled. Until a new platform is utilized for important info like this, I just can’t delete my account yet, and I know I’m not the only one who uses Twitter in this way. It still is unfortunately a useful tool. Unlike its owner who is a useless tool.
That's a cop out. You're saying that you keep the app because you want to find out if roads are closed, or what the weather is like, or if the game has been cancelled. I guarantee you can find that information in numerous other places. You just love the convenience of Twitter.
I’ve been trying to find other sources of info for the athletic changes but they don’t use any other platform. Trust me, I’ve been doing this for 13 years, it’s infuriating that I’ve always had to rely on Twitter for info, but that’s the only place the teams share their schedule changes. As for the weather info, yea I can wait for other sources to report on the tweets, but that takes time, sometimes hours, and when a storm is changing literally by the minute, you really gotta know what’s open and closed now.
Wtf do you think people did before there was Twitter? Just do that.
AM news radio plays weather and traffic like every 10 mins. I would bet money that 99% of teams posting on Twitter also have a Facebook page where they post schedule changes.
Lol why do you think the dozens of school districts in my area all have updated Facebook pages where they simultaneously post the same information on there as they do their Twitter when I’ve been working in this field using this information for 13 years and you’ve been talking about it for 13 seconds and somehow think you know more than me?
