#5 Twitter Starts to Change the Central Logic of Its Service

This article talks about how twitter has changes over the years, and how these changes were both good and bad. The author explains how twitter was trying a new experiment of showing tweets favorite by other person in your own newsfeed. You can only see the tweets from people that you follow, when someone re-tweets another tweet, or when it is an ad. Now, a user could see the tweets of of an account that the follower follows which is very odd to the user. This change was a big change to twitter because it changed the whole purpose of twitter, following, and so on.  Also, the author explains that when people favorites a user’s tweet, it means an “I agree” or “it was funny” or anything else, but something that is not supposed to be shared everywhere.  In conclusion, the author explains that changes might be good, but you got to make the right changes.

Robinson Meyer, the author of this article, is totally against the changes that are happening in twitter. It is clear through his choice of words that he is against, and whishes that twitter would go back to how it was. He does not only inform his own opinion, but he also tries to persuade others to think that the changes of twitter are bad. Reading his article, the reader can feel much persuaded and can agree to his thoughts because of the way he wrote this article.
