@iroughol @azeem Generally, I’m a big fan of competition. I originally backed Ghost back in the Kickstarter days, because I desperately wanted WordPress to have competition. And I like it as a @ghost user that @SubstackInc is pushing forward fast enough that people switch back and forth…
I see the person whose (now failed) website repeatedly ripped off my content without paying even basic attention to the licensing terms is lecturing us all on how to do tech journalism. again. 🙄
@iroughol @azeem Interesting. I wondered why I hadn’t seen that update, as I’m an Exponential View subscriber - but then I realised that because it’s now back on Substack, it’s going into the app, which I only check a few times a week.
I’m not yet convinced that the app is good for writers.
@some_yeo @inkcapjournal I’ve often compared a good newsletter to a good magazine, in terms of balance of content and pacing. But that’s probably because my own background is in magazines, not newspapers…
Back at the keyboard after a lovely few weeks off. Listen to @charlotteahenry and I talking Facebook, and explore the brief dispute between @inkcapjournal’s @some_yeo and @stephenkb.
Bonus photo of me with a Harris Hawk on my arm.
Such treats.
(Full disclosure: I’m a judge of that category.)
Nice profile by @pressgazette of @some_yeo’s @inkcapjournal, an independent newsletter, with an impressive open rate, and developing business model. Worth a read, good people. It’s shortlisted for the newsletter award in the Future of Media awards.
@coffeekate2 One a little further away from us does that. It also has electric car chargers, so one of my neighbours who lives in a flat, works, has lunch and recharges his car there once a week or so.
One for you @jonostrower? twitter.com/LucyInTheSky22…
@coffeekate2 I often worked in my local pub pre-pandemic if it got really cold.
@travelfish It’s quite something.
@OpinionatedGeek @EoinMcFadden Such a great show.
This is a hell of a thing — a writer quits Substack, and the company reacts by… firing the copy editor on his post. twitter.com/samthielman/st… t.co/DXTnxLGpE…
RIP all those tweets I write and then delete unposted.
@dr Would to be fair to say it’s gone from being comments for @Ghost to premium comments for Ghost, for more demanding communities?
@handolio Well, you’d be surprised how much power some caravans pull…
A few images from the beginning of our holiday two weeks ago: Wightlink to the Isle of Wight, and setting up at the campsite outside Sandown. Oh, and charging the car off the electrical hookup on the campsite. 🚙 ⚡️ 👍🏻 t.co/N5vb2hlwW…
@JohnONolan I’m almost afraid to look.
@JohnONolan C’mon man, there must be better ways to get the NSFW tag tested on Ghost Explore… ghost.org/explore
I am faintly baffled as to why anyone would think that I’d like to run a piece about going commando on OM&HB. And yes, it’s “commando” as in “no underwear”. I suppose it’s just someone blasting out them to a mailing list indiscriminately, and hoping for the best.
Hwæt! t.co/gEcQPZX4I…
I think it would be fair to say that my teenage record buying was not cool. t.co/4htdhRaD9…
