Twitter's Early Spam Struggles

Today we’re playing you an episode of Land of the Giants that takes a walk down memory lane to the early days of Twitter and how the platform became the best and worst place on the internet. If you like it; check out the Land of The Giants: The Twitter Fantasy and revisit our interviews with Ben Mezrich, Walter Isaacson, Ronan Farrow and William Cohan, or Kara and Nayeema’s own walk down memory lane on Twitter. 

Enjoy! And we’ll be back on Thursday with a new episode of On.

This episode hosted by Peter Kafka (@pkafka) and Lauren Goode (@laurengoode)
