When tweets become "articles" the problem isn't really twitter, but suggests the reader may have trouble correctly describing their process of finding things out.
When reading this twitter thread I was intrigued so I:
- Looked at the export numbers
- Asked a couple of friends of mine (one in Japan and one who works in the norwegian salmon industry)
- Did a few searches for news coverage about salmon exports to Japan and read a couple of articles while skimming half a dozen more.
- Found a master thesis describing "Project Japan" which I've downloaded and will read when I get back from work tonight.
