Episode description

Dave discusses the different ways people use Twitter, noting that everyone has a different experience based on who they follow and who follows them. He explains that the “@” symbol is used to address a tweet to someone who doesn’t follow you, allowing you to have a conversation with them. Weiner also talks about the ratio of followers to people followed, with some users having a very high ratio of followers to those they follow. Dave suggests this could be an interesting way to rank people on Twitter. Dave then plays a song by the Grateful Dead to end his podcast for the year.
