    Just listened to an Australian Broadcasting podcast called "Trace" about the unsolved murder is a single mom of her bookstore in the '80s. Really worth checking out.

    It's not a real app or place...it is just a part of Twitter where it is overwhelmingly about black issues and black voices, and not really part of the mainstream. It's sort of like when nielson would break down tv ratings. There was the overall viewership, the white only viewership and the black viewership. The third category looked nothing like the first two.

    You guys do realize that Twitter is a universe that you define yourselves? You only get tweets from people you choose. Likewise, if no one follows you, you're speaking in the forest with no one around right?

    Except, you can also search for specific topics and trends and hence that is where the phrase "black twitter" comes from. For example, no one on my personal feed is talking about the Jenkins case. However, search for it, and there is a massive reaction to it.

    You casually friend every hot girl you meet at a party, and then...

    uh I mean you solely use it to keep in touch with friends.
