X (Twitter)
Short public posts, used by some people as a thinking tool
A public posting feed, formerly Twitter. It shows up in stacks for an odd reason: the length limit. An idea has to be cut down to fit, and the cutting is where the thinking happens. Posting in public also brings correction, fast and rude. Free to use, with a paid tier.

- Naval RavikantDoes it
Angel investor · AngelList and the Naval podcast
Asked how he takes notes, he said he does not: Twitter is the note taking. He reads until something clicks, forces the idea down to fit the character limit, posts it as an aphorism and gets picked apart by strangers listing the exceptions. Then he goes quiet for a while.
