  1. TWITTER EMBRACED OEMBED EARLY BUT NOT COMPLETELY. i think that by 2009-2010 we were already seeing embedded videos and thumbnails of articles but, curiously, not tweets.

    i spent the whole year of 2011 ―the year of #ArabSpring #Syntagma #Acampadas #Walkerville #Bloombergville and #OccupyWallStreet― writing many a QT on tweets where i was translating quotes from many EU sources still somewhat geoblocked in USA, especially BBC News, El País, L’Express and Al-Jazeera… 🧵
