Crib service in 15 minutes… My daughters will be playing the roles of “Magus” and “innkeeper”. microblog.onemanandhisblog.com/2022/12/24/cri…
@lesanto The publisher I was with until ‘97 had literally one modem for the whole company. No websites, and one computer for email…
And then I moved to EG which had had a paywalled website for a year. Quite the culture shift.
@lesanto Oh, god, yes. Then days when we did alt text for a clue what the image would eventually be when it downloaded in five minutes’ time, rather than for accessibility.
@lesanto The RSS spec wasn’t released until 1999…
IIRC, it started getting traction circa 2004/5, which is why I picked that date.
@antonyslumbers Ooh! Ooh! Is an office park a “federated officeverse”?
Newsletter delivery via RSS has a name. It’s called blogging. This is literally what we were doing in 2005. niemanlab.org/2022/12/this-i…
Yes. Yes, I do. t.co/QzgohvQuT… 
@erika_marzano ALL OF THEM.

It’s my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 16 years, since 4 Dec 2006 (via @twi_age).

Off to London for work. The last commute of the year! t.co/FTTssIjDi… 
Lost five subscribers as soon as I pressed “send” due to bounces…
Read my latest dispatch from a dying platform: “Engaged Reading Time: The Burning Platform Edition” engagedreadingtime.com/archive/1028345
It seems the @Ghost folks got their improved migration sorted out in time…
So, @Revue is dead - all newsletters will be deleted in January. t.co/3UDASS3I7… 
It’s “update all the Apple things” evening! iOS/iPadOS 16.2 and macOS 13.1 are out, along with accompanying HomePod and AppleTV updates.
Blimey. Musk has disbanded Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council. He’s not even pretending to listen to others now. onemanandhisblog.com/2022/12/musk-d…
@moorehn A talk by @zephoria I heard years ago always stuck in my mind: she compared social media to a magnifying mirror, reflecting our selves back to us in exaggerated form.
The “Twitter Files” have been unexpectedly revelatory — but not in the way we expected. We’ve learnt a lot about Musk’s view of the world — and a log about some “independent” journalism…
Good to see that @Ghost has a much improved @Revue migration tool, that brings across old newsletters and all subscribers: ghost.org/docs/migration…
(Might be of interest to the @mediavoicespod folks and @kevglobal)
@charlesarthur Whoa, it really is.
