What Twitter is missing
These are some features that, while possible in third-party applications, I believe should be integrated into the main Twitter product.

Sure, the favorite button does the trick, but I want my “favorites” to only be my favorite tweets. Instead, my “favorites” often turn out to be tweets I want to go back to when I’m on my laptop. A simple “read later” button that allowed me to create a queue of tweets to get back to would be an incredible value add for many power users. I don’t think this action should appear on the interaction tab for users.
I’ve consumed enough
Enough blog posts, enough tweets, enough signing up for every new startup, enough of all this consumption…it’s time to start creating (more).
I’m know I’m not alone in my ridiculous amount of consumption, looking around the average classroom at my university confirms that. Any student with a smartphone (the majority) is constantly texting, checking Twitter/Facebook, posting to Instagram/Pinterest, or playing a game (worst of all).
Find a way to say yes to things. Say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learn something new. Yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. Even if it’s a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference. Yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, see the glass full, be the one everyone comes to. Yes is what keeps us all young.
Thoughts on Drake’s “Take Care”
I’m sure many who know me, and my music tastes, are a bit surprised that I’m not giving my thoughts on Childish Gambino’s Camp… This is for two reasons: 1) It can be summed up in one word: “AMAZING” 2) My friend Zach already did 10x what I could ever do here. With that, let’s talk about Take Care.
Take Care is Drake’s sophomore album which released November 15th. In a follow up to one of 2010’s biggest albums Thank Me Later, it was reasonable to expect the sophomore slump to grab a hold of Drake’s latest offering; it didn’t.
