Very important for the ecosystem that *everybody* get to participate in the upside of events like this. Happily, this news cycle provided the perfect opportunity for poasters across all social strata to bank precious engagement via spicy (albeit uninformed) tweets.

Fun read on the hidden role of these chats, even if the prevailing ideas emerging from them still ended up posted in public by the participants...and even though Trump's election mainly hinged on factors like inflation and not who rich tech guys publicly supported.  [embedded post]

Meta plans to make its Threads API broadly available to developers by June 2024 and is currently testing it with some partners, including Techmeme and Hootsuite

Ivan Mehta / TechCrunch :

In case you're wondering: we are testing the new Threads API, which makes it possible for us to post these headlines.  Access to an API was a prerequisite for this because having one person handle manual posting of Techmeme's 24/7 headline stream was always a nonstarter. …
