1. ➶ Fragility of Free — The Brooks Review

    Another brilliant piece by Ben Brooks. I’ve had a couple of emails taking my to task for my snarky retorts about the Quick Bar in Twitter for iPhone.

    I don’t have a problem with Promoted Trends per se. I just can’t stand Trends at all. They’re by-and-large, the Internet’s collective stupidity, and the Twitter for iOS update throws that in my face1.

    1. A sweeping generalisation, of course, but at the same time even in the midst of the most tragic of natural disasters the Quick Bar was still happy to show “Pearl Harbor” as a trending topic. ↩
