CAKES inspired by ART

“CHOCOLATE CAKE” 1971 is a lithograph on Arches paper (SFMOMA) by American artist Wayne Thiebaud.

A work of art based on a work of art

NO-ONE CAN SEE YOUR 💗S

Don't 💗 my Tweets. 
RT them but don't 💗 them.

It used to be that if you liked something on Twitter you'd RT it.
Then Twitter added the 💗
Everybody thought a 💗 worked like an RT and followers could still see what you 💗

WRONG.

Your 💗s don’t appear in your timeline.
Check you timeline: you won't see any of your 💗s there.
So your followers can’t see what you 💗
Only the recipient sees your 💗 
Your 💗s go into your LIKES file, used only by ADVERTISERS to sell you stuff based on your 💗s.

So, responding to a personal Tweet or promo with a 💗 is a waste of time. Nobody will see it, nobody will be able to make contact or a purchase or enjoy anything you 💗.  That's why, if you 💗 my Tweets, I'll take it as a personal insult. :-)         

The 💗 has practically killed Twitter as an interactive medium.

The point of Twitter is to get our Tweets to as many people as possible. And the only way to do that is to RT.
An RT appears in your timeline and reaches all our followers & their followers & so on. Potentially hundreds, thousands, even millions of people could see an RT. People who may want to follow us, contact us, buy something we're selling, or simply be amused or enriched by the Tweet. 

If you don’t RT what you like to your followers, Twitter will never be anything more than an advertising platform for BIG BRANDS and FAMOUS people.
