Funny 🙂
Funny … but also very true of the Frothy insubstantial liquid quality of much of what is done and said over Social Media.
Its much like an unneutered territorial Cat spraying its urine all over a property.
Depends entirely on who you follow. I have selected a number of economists, journalists and all round interesting people and I often see great stories before they happen.
Yes, quite right.
But “before they happen” ?? You mean before they make the 6 o’clock news?
I have a similar eclectic group in my timeline.
And … even then, the snatches of various aspects of an emerging story can be rather breathless.
Twitter can be very reactive.
