Weather like this morning almost makes the early start worth it. t.co/PwJlNxC5a…
I know that the phone has the advantage of being the camera you always have with you, but I do enjoy the tactile nature of more traditional cameras — the viewfinder, the lens barrel, the dials and buttons. Grabbing the Canon and going shooting with it is my weekend treat.
@beehiiv Ah-ha. Yes, familiar with the concept, indeed teach it (as recently as an hour ago!), but I’d just never heard the terminology you used.
@beehiiv What does “interweave your hyperlinks” mean?
This is quite a story. A reminder, I suppose, that if you want to go into journalism, you need to think about your online history. holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2022/news/edit…

I’ve very happy settled into Ghost for serious publishing and micro.blog for just podding around on the interwebs. And this is exactly why. twitter.com/nandoodles/sta…
@JohnONolan Doesn’t that reply on the API staying up? Given that the guy who was in charge of that got cut in the big layoffs…
@baekdal Given how laden most publisher sites are with adwech external scripts, I suspect embedded Tweets has little impact one way or another on their Core Web Vitals…
@baekdal But equally, embedding feels like it’s fairer on the original creator of the post.
@baekdal Twitter has traditionally fallen back gracefully to the text of the Tweet. It’s always felt like an ethical trade-off to me. Embedding extrudes a wee bit of the host site onto yours, and yes, sites like Facebook abuse that.
Embedding tweets in articles no longer feels safe.
Great to welcome @MatteoMoschella back to @cityjournalism to do a verification Masterclass for the @Interhacktives

If I was the sub on @TheAtlantic piece, I’d have titled it This Age of Social Media is Ending.
There will be a next age, and you can see it developing already. And, in fact, the seeds of the age after that, too.
Here’s more on it:
But a lot of the commentary misses that point. For example, this is a good piece, but doesn’t quite make the realisation that the internet has always and will always facilitate social exchange. It’s human nature.
People will always seek to connect, create, share those creations — and seek validation from them. This is the aspect of human existence the big social platforms have exploited — but they didn’t create it, and the distinction is important.
One of the problems of a lot of discussion about social media is that there’s an assumption it’s a technological phenomenon.
It’s not.
It’s a human phenomenon that is facilitated by technology.
Elon Musk is making that mistake in his management of Twitter.

@MartinCloake Thank you, Martin.
A little response to the doom and gloom around social media.
Social connections and creativity have always been part of internet culture, and the slow decline of platforms that monolpised that won’t change human nature…

Well, dealing with the flat tyre put pay to our planned afternoon out. But, given how tired the girls were, I have a suspicion it was for the best.
@PaulOckenden @Cyberwest My rather lighter wallet concurs.
