If people cared about that they wouldn't be using Microsoft.

By default, the posts are all out of order. Top 5 posts are from 2022, 2023, 2020, Jul 19 (Crowdstrike), Jul 18. (in that specific order)

Not really useful for the 'latest' going on.

Twitter used to be able to do that, was super useful to get the pulse of a current event.

I understand why it is still popular, I first used it at my current job and for the life of me I do not understand how people put up with it. It is one of the worst applications I use in my daily work life.

Almost 20 years ago, I remember getting in an argument with a new manager who was pushing for the company to use Exchange “because that’s what businesses do”

Then about 5 years ago something similar happened at another company when I was against 365. Their argument was “I know it sucks, but that’s microsoft’s preferred way”

There are a lot of people with decision making power that base their decisions solely on marketing material.

How do you evaluate respectability in this case? The icon that meant verified on Twitter now only means that someone paid money to X.

Not sure what's wrong with your feed, if I go to that account the top post is from 3 hours ago concerning this outage along with two replies at 2 hours and then ~48 minutes ago located right under it.

So many unfortunately don't have a choice

I respect them more. So that’s one data point..
