you can already use twitter like this! set up a custom search engine for your own tweets so finding them to QT is as smooth as possible and you can aim to write tweets for their QT value later - playing the long game https://t.co/SDngpTFAMq

the more you QT your old tweets the clearer a sense you get of which ones meaningfully contribute to ongoing discussions, and you can start orienting to that as a metric as opposed to raw likes / RTs

you seriously will not understand how much better having custom search engines for tweets makes twitter until you use them long enough to search reflexively w/o thinking. in chrome go to settings -> manage search engines -> add, then add a search engine like this https://t.co/YslJmtBL0X

@Conaw @gmws82 @visakanv @ultimape @GRITCULT @KevinSimler @vgr @context_ing I do this with a custom Chrome (Brave actually) search engine. - tw searches twitter - twm searches twitter with from:malcolm_ocean pre-typed - twv searches twitter with from:visakanv (just added that last one but have been meaning to for awhile) https://t.co/PcESmEHzDk

A question I get over and over again is "how do you manage your threads?" – and the answer is, I use twitter search. "but how do you search for them? how do you remember everything?" – I don't! you only see what I remember. There's probably lots of unremembered stuff
