We are excited to announce that Twitter has selected two partner groups to measure the health of the public conversation 1/
The two groups from academics across multiple institutions will study echo chambers, uncivil discourse and bridging gaps between communities.

tried a new schedule based on this book and it’s been amazing:

1. Appreciate need for deep work
2. Block 3 hours a day for deep work: 9-10:30am and 2-3:30pm. Other times can be used for 1:1s, etc.

Obviously there are exceptions but trying to stick to it. It’s been great...
2/ deepwork = more focus -> better decisions, better feedback + less overall meetings since there's less rework... however,
3/ the main challenge with this approach is getting others to adapt since calendaring is a multi-player game...

blocking full days ("No meeting thursdays") doesn't work since you usually don't need 8 hrs. of focus - you need 8 1-hr blocks with feedback in between, and...

Different work happens in different time horizons - long-term thinking can't happen in short-bursts.

I've been thinking of these as mental time zones 1/
Different mental time zones lend themselves to different types of thought -- the main determinant of a mental time zone is communication.

Communication synchronizes time zones. Communication speed determines time. 2/
Can't stop thinking of this since reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson amazon.com/dp/B0015DPXKI/… 3/

New report on Russian disinformation, prepared for the Senate shows the operation’s scale & sweep washingtonpost.com/technology/201… A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia’s disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation
used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters’ interests to help elect President Trump — & worked even harder to support him while in office.

The report, a draft of which was obtained by The Washington Post, is the first to study
the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), its chairman, and Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), its ranking Democrat. The bipartisan panel hasn’t said whether it endorses the findings. It plans to release

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

Some news!
Starting in early May of this year, I went on leave as @Twitter was really humming along, and it was time for me to take a breather.
While I was on leave, we had an unexpected death in the family and I let @jack know that the right place for me to be is at home.
I know that I’ll never regret spending more time with my family over everything else.

Today we are introducing new behavior-based signals into how Tweets are organized and presented in areas like conversations and search.

This is to improve the health of the conversation and improve everyone’s Twitter experience.
We’re tackling issues of behaviors that detract from the public conversation on Twitter. This technology focuses on behavior, not content.

You can see the full conversation by tapping Show more replies or choose to see everything in your search settings.
Through experimentation with this system, we’ve seen less abuse reports. We will continually evaluate to ensure this method is performing and we welcome your feedback.

💬 Do you think #threads can help make Twitter healthier?
Yesterday, @jack answered our question on Periscope 👇
#health #twitter
« I do think the more space we give people to think and be critical about what they see and express more critical thinking the more civil and civic these dialogs and debates become and the more we can really dive into the heart of the issue and move forward. »
« 280 and Threads have certainly allowed more depth in the conversations and a lot more critical thinking. One of the things we would like to see and enable on our platform is exactly that. »
