It’s productive, informative procrastination!

My kind of diversion. t.co/eK9cQkWQ1… 
I declared RSS bankruptcy last night, marked the 5,000+ articles which were unread in NetNewsWire as read, and revelled in the manageable flow of new posts. Such a great decision.
Great post by Matt Genmell on why we should give ourselves permission to write shorter, less weighty posts in blogs. Some of this is down to platform design: micro.blog and Tumblr encourage short posts in a way that, say, Wordpress doesn’t. mattgemmell.scot/write-less/
@callummarius 💯 on-brand thread.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what comes of City’s Creatives in Residence scheme. city.ac.uk/about/schools/…
@cjmaill Yup, although I suspect they weren’t thinking of “breaking other people’s services and businesses”
@jonhew Basic tweet embedding will be fine. Tweets in newsletters will require $$$, and I imagine services like Followerwonk and other API-based free analysis apps will be dead.
I’m a bit worried I’ve buried the lede on this one: I suspect Twitter paywalling its API from next week will have a bigger impact than anyone expects.
Today’s post:

I have 300 open tabs on my iPad. Tonight, I wage war on them. (By “wage war” I mean “read and decide if I’m going to blog about them”, of course.)
@kaitewelsh @thekateblack @LolaKeeley_ That is GENIUS.
@erika_marzano Happy New February!
It’s reader feedback day on @omandhb. @petren pulls me up on my numbers, and @desibility points out the thinness of one of my arguments…
Plus I have an editorial assistant for the day…
Instagram’s co-founders are launching a “TikTok for news” - it looks like an algorithmic news aggregator, basically.
Worth watching, but not making me excited yet.
