One of the things I loved about early Twitter was meeting people I had absolutely no reason to know.

A stranger replied to a tweet. We talked. Months later we met at a conference or over coffee.

Sometimes those weak online connections became clients, collaborators or friends I still know today.

Years later researchers tested the power of weak ties at enormous scale.

A 2022 Science study involving more than 20 million people found that weaker social connections can play an important role in job mobility.

That helped explain something I had felt on Twitter long before I knew the research.

The internet’s original magic wasn’t merely broadcasting to millions.

It was allowing a stranger on the other side of the world to enter your life.

Weak ties sometimes become strong relationships.

@kayosports_help @cdsmythe After deleting and reinstalling the Kayo app on Apple TV, this is what I get.

And yes, I’ve emailed the support team and have not received a response to address the Apple TV issue.

@bruce_arthur Kawhi’s legacy will read: 2019 champ, 2020 blown opportunity to repeat.

@milkkarten Nice work! The ‘souvenir business’ is a great insight.

[M_Hickinbotham @M_Hickinbotham]

@ekoreen Does Kawhi regret not running it back with 2020 Raptors?

@bruce_arthur I recently joined a Sunday evening social basketball league. The team captain (from Peru) choose the team name and designed the jersey.

@bruce_arthur Vince’s impact is global. Walk into the Sydney AU NBA store and the vast majority of Raps gear is about VC.

I feel like if I wait long enough I'll get this without having to upgrade

"Having concepts of a plan": extremely unserious, sounds like you're making stuff up

"Having a plan for concepts": what the strategist at your agency with the British accent and cool eyewear gets paid to do

@ReplitSupport @Replit can I get more credits to finish my project? As a non-coder, I’m keen to see if I can this app to function.

@ekoreen Great song, even better lyric.

What else are you listening to?

Apple marketing woke up and chose violence

[Rob Campbell @Robertc1970]

If Apple don’t turn this into a Mac vs PC ad, then I give up.

[M_Hickinbotham @M_Hickinbotham]

@michaelgrange So more causation versus correlation?

I have a mental illness that makes me think that people will change their minds if I present the correct arguments with the appropriate facts and data.

@OrenWeisfeld And perhaps why Canada has a decent shot at a gold medal.

[M_Hickinbotham @M_Hickinbotham]

@ekoreen I can’t believe that’s 10 years ago.
