My english teacher just told me the twitter bird's name is Larry.

Well, our co founder biz is from boston and when we decided that the bird was going to be our logo, he naturally went to the most famous bird for him.

Maybe the most famous bird in the world.

Larry bird, I will say though if you follow birdwatching on twitter, no tweets about Larry bird and Maddie creates asks why does twitter have a character limits?

Still, I'm tired of sacrificing my grammar for the good of the tweet, Unhappy face.

So some history on the character limit.

We originally started with 140 characters so that we could fit in one text message, which is what the whole service was based on in the early days.

But we also believe that the constraint was really useful because it inspired a lot of creativity.

And this resonated with comedians.

It resonated with journalists that resonated with poets and hip hop artists and creatives of all types to figure out ways not to sacrifice the grammar, but to actually make it work, but we thought they might be good to increase the limit just a little bit and we decided to do it twice the amount, Which seems enough for most people and if that's not enough we have threads, you can link all the tweets together, so we have a 280 character limit.

But you can link as many tweets as you want.

So it's really limitless at my wife is joanie asked how can I identify a twitter but I have suspicions over one or two I see but cannot prove it at twitter support.

Well I'm from Missouri which is the show me state, we're all skeptics and I would always recommend that we'd be skeptical of everything that we see if you have suspicions go through a reporting flow but you don't necessarily have to assume that everyone is a but some people just haven't updated their profile picture and some folks haven't chosen their own ad name.

So if you see something that is suspicious, we have a reporting flow, you can send it over to us and we'll look for it.

Always be skeptical at Peter Al Stone asked when will twitter facebook and google be regulated?

Like the public utilities?

They are the information economy moves fast, maybe soon we believe fundamentally that the job of a regulator is to protect the individual and level the playing field for everyone.

And our job is to help educate regulators around smart path forward.

So we're always having conversations around the world with regulators about what technology makes possible and how twitter fits into that, we welcome smart regulation.

Uh and we want to help guide it as well at hazy Doris s iau twitter, can we get that edit button in 2020.

The answer is no, the reason there's no edit button, there hasn't been edit button traditionally is we started as a sms text messaging service.

So as you all know when you send a text you can't really take it back.

We wanted to preserve that vibe in that feeling in the early days, but now you know we have an app and a lot of people are using us on the web and there's some issues with edit that.

We can, we can solve um one is you might send a tweet and then someone might retweet that and then an hour later you completely change the content of that tweet and that person that re tweeted the original tweet is not re tweeting and re broadcasting something completely different.

So that's something to watch out for.

A lot of people want it because they want to fix a quick spelling air or a broken link or whatnot And that's great.

We've considered a one minute window or a 32nd window to correct something but that also means that we have to delay sending that tweet out because once it's out people see it.

So these are all the considerations it's just work but we'll probably never do it okay at southern peaks instead of an edit feature, twitter should allow users to see how many times the tweet link has been copied because we all send tweets with, did you see this one message, you know just to liven things up.

Smiley face.

I agree, that's a that's a pretty good idea.

Well look at that one at alan lamp author.

Hey twitter.

God can you please activate spellcheck?

I can't believe there are so many trending misspelled hashtags especially from writers at least trend.

The properly spelled hashtag first hashtag writing community.

Hashtag writing community spelled wrong.

Hashtag writing community once again spelled wrong.

Our algorithms would actually notice if these three hashtags were trending and group them together.

So we don't do the spell check and we don't edit your tweet but we will group them appropriately in the right way so that everyone can find your content even though you may have misspelled it at andre three xK at twitter, why don't you follow your boss at Jack Twitter was following me for a while and then we decided to do something much much cooler.

We put a bunch of people on billboards and their tweets on billboards all over new york and san Francisco and we followed them now and now we can dm them as well, so I don't really mind.

Okay, so at Gary waits asked question of photographers, artists, illustrators and creative types, Have you read the new terms for twitter, does this mean twitter can do what they like with our content and if you look at the first screenshot it says you retain your rights to any content.

You submit post or display on or throughout the services.

What's yours is yours?

You own your content and you're incorporated audio, photos and videos are considered part of the content.

So what that means is you own it.

You can take it down at any point.

You want me to read all the terms of service study.

Thanks to you as well at peter kim frank is this article satire among other things, it claims that at Jack regularly meditates two hours each day, spends 52 minutes each day doing sauna plus ice bath eats just five meals per week.

Some of it's real.

I try to meditate two hours every single day.

I definitely do not do a sauna and ice bath every day and I eat seven meals every week.

Just dinner At log May 92.

How does one acquire the illustrious checkmark on twitter?

There's a guy named kevin and he handles all the verification, which is the blue checkmark.

So if you either DM him or mention him, you have a high probability of getting a blue checkmark.

So it's at K A Y Visi verification.

He's the verification God.

So just go to him and who will get you sorted.

Okay, I have a question from adapt to reality question why is Jack going to Africa?

I am going to Africa because it's a pretty incredible collection of entrepreneurs and folks that I think we all need to learn from.

But I wanted to make sure that I had a good understanding of what's happening on the continent and how folks are thinking about technology and anything that we can do to help support at vampire spelled V.

Does twitter sell my data immediately.

I like a few posts and I immediately get ads about it.

No we don't sell your data.

We try to match whatever we think you might be interested with a advertiser that is selling or offering a service that match those interests at.

I flopped straights at twitter.

When will there be a dislike button?

We've never actually thought of that.

So let's I'll get that to the team and we'll get on it at bald savant.

So apparently we can now follow topics on twitter but we can't user generate those topics when it has been 1000 times easier.

Better to just let us follow hashtags well.

So this is um one step for us.

We're trying to determine what the most interesting topics are to start and this is all based on our machine learning and deep learning algorithms.

We bubble those up so that you can follow them.

I recommend following birdwatching.

It's incredible.

The other good one is weather but there's over 1000 right now and we'll get better and better.

So you should see more and more topics but eventually you might be able to follow hashtag.

But what's interesting about this approach is that even if a hashtag is not mentioned, you'll still see a relevant tweet about bird watching at G.

H.

Monberg asks at Jack, what is your favorite feature on twitter?

Well right now it's the ability to follow topics.

I think it's incredible.

It's awesome and it works really, really well.

I'm finding so many accounts that I end up following in so many tweets that I would not have otherwise seen for sports for weather.

And of course for bird watching at reception asks at twitter, can you just give us the ability to use regular checks on muted tweets?

They never work right, so that's a very eunuchs technical term.

That's a regular expression.

It's a pattern matching tool for a lot of computer scientists.

We thought that might be a little bit out of reach for most people but it's a good suggestion and our engineers back at the company would love it.

So it's probably gonna be done tomorrow at underscore denial.

With two ways and two ways twitter should have a close friend list too.

Aight at twitter, who would you put on your close friend list?

We'll look into that.

But you can actually create a list with all your close friends and put them right at the top of your timeline and switch quickly to them at any point.

So we kinda already have that.

And nene Neil how does one trend on twitter?

I've been trying to figure that out for quite some time.

Who do you sell your soul to not interested in trending but I'm looking to get into the soul business, you know, I think if you spread this tweet around this one will probably trend at the sorry papa rela at twitter, can we get translation option for any tweet?

This already exists.

You can translate any tweet that you see, you just tap into it and you hit translate tweet at the friar's wife, how do you think or hope decentralizing twitter will transform the user experience?

Well the most amazing thing is I have no idea and that's what makes it so exciting.

We believe that twitter is best served by having the largest corpus of conversations by having different perspectives on how people consume those conversations and interact with those conversations I think generally it's just going to create a ton more invention for us and innovation for the community using twitter every single day At Khoja Whiskey at Twitter support.

Is it possible to claim an abandoned Twitter handle that has zero followers only one tweet and has been inactive since 2014.

You can reach out to support directly with the account and we'll see what we can do.

Thank you.

This has been twitter support.

I'm Jack Dorsey and I would really love to wish you all The great irony of my characters so we have to 80, I have a great day to have an amazing day.
