I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.Twitter

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

According to GNIP, Oreo’s Gay Pride work spurred huge interactions on Tumblr, and yet when you look at Twitter’s numbers there wasn’t a blip.

The conclusion I’d draw from this is that Twitter, at a high, numerical level, renders as a static drone. It’s so big and messaging is limited in form that spikes are limited, especially when the story is complicated or involved imagery. Has it always been this way or is this a product of its growth?
