The comparison to TV/cable is a good one. I don't think people who feel this way would say the same about telephones or the postal service.

It's possible that this situation will cause all the other airlines to try improve their staff and bureaucracy out of fear of being next.

I own a 4 year old Nexus 4 that I got for $200. Almost everyone I encounter thinks it's an iPhone initially. Many people (especially the older ones) still think it's an iPhone after I tell them it isn't.

I suspect most of those history questions are answered via Wikipedia. From what I've seen if the snippet isn't using Wikipedia it's not useful and/or accurate.

There used to be a feature on Twitter for viewing other people's feeds[1], but was removed[2].
I made something to replicate that via Twitter Lists[3][4], but it seems like making one for Facebook is much more important.

Author here: In developing this I discovered that Twitter really doesn't care about lists. The limits on API usage and aggressive following are well documented, but anything about lists is minor.
Also, if anyone from Twitter is reading: it would be nice if Twitter implemented a way to subscribe to someone's timeline instead of having to resort to this method.
