Hell site
“Going forward, I will no longer be checking Twitter or responding on it … I plan to concentrate as much of my time and energy as possible on building the Small Web.”
@aral Be prepared for the automated "We missed you" messages..
one of your links:
another that calls the people who use are used by his service “dumb fucks?”
links to the article itself, rather than to one I suspect is about Zuckerberg. :)
@FreePietje @FiXato Thanks. And yeah, it’s Zuck.
@FiXato Thank you, fixed :)
Hi @aral I found this the other day, and still can't decide if it's worth checking or not...

@cybeardjm Oh my, blockchain + Google + Facebook + … yeah, no thanks :)
Thanks Aral.
Tweetdeck is still not an algorithmic feed yet, for what it's worth.
Not that I wanna drag you back to Twitter. Well done on junking it.
@aral The "dumb fucks" link is incorrect (it point to the blogpost).
@desikn Thanks, fixed :)
@aral This is wise. Rather than getting into pointless fights on the hell site, focus on the things you can change and promoting them instead.
I am still on Twitter. Heck, I am still on Facebook. But I don't do much with those sites anymore, and mostly avoid any sort of interaction there. Twitter is ok for observing what's happening in the wider world beyond twee techie land. It's not ok for having any kind of sensible discussion/debate about anything. I usually describe it as being a highly combative environment, and it's easy to suffer from combat fatigue.
@aral @bmann our pleasure to work on this as time permits! But I have to clarify we only run it :) we took over running it as a service from the original developer. Hopefully we'll ship some features soon; so far we've only reduced the avg time to cross post, it should be about 30s now down from a few minutes.
@aral
What You ought to know on silicon valley and twitter.
@aral What took you so long to make this decision?
PS: There's no pleasing some people!
