2、a failed hunt for the bombers; and the name of Sunil Tripathi, a missing Brown student, trended on Twitter for all the wrong reasons.The issue, in part, is velocity: news has never moved faster than it does now, and few events of the past several years have captured Americas attention like the Bosto

8、reation, in 2006, when it was known as “twttr,” what has not changed is how profoundly Twitter relies on nowness. Nowness is not simply newness, or the new: the question Twitter used to ask of users when they went to compose a tweet, “Whats happening?” is a direct inquiry about the state of now. Twi
9、tters intense focus on immediacy has manifested in many small waysfor instance, users can only see their three thousand most recent tweets (and the service only recently added the ability for users to download their entire Twitter archive and conduct searches of tweets from the past). But, most impo
10、rtant, when a user logs into Twitter, what they see is a raw, unfiltered stream, with the newest content at the very top. Facebook, by contrast, shows users a curated feed; the top of the feed is not whats new, it is what the algorithms think is best.Twitter as a medium is so intently bound to the n
11、ow that introducing content not of this moment is disruptiveits actually something of a prank to resurface someones tweets from the distant past, either by retweeting or favoriting them.
