Ian Lunt writes about a recent scientific conference from which the volume of tweets was overwhelming: "Peak tweet can be defined as the time when the rate of tweet production far exceeds the rate of potential consumption. In 2015, a sizable ecology conference exceeded peak tweet. Attendees live-tweeted far more messages than readers could feasibly find or read." Lunt's recommended remedy for peak tweet? More aggregation with distinct hashtags via tools such as Storify.
