@jinanalrawi It makes senses to a limited degree on Instagram (link in bio!). But not elsewhere.
@kellyfincham I think we looked at them, and the cost was just waaaaaay too much for a B2B publisher.
@kellyfincham That’s ringing a very distant bell. It’s been bugging me all afternoon. Wasn’t it acquired by somebody… Demand Media, maybe?
@the59thStBridge Enough to Excite the imagination.
@the59thStBridge He should Ask Jeeves about that, Lycos the Yahoo he clearly is…
@kellyfincham Do you mean Plurk? Because that’s still around: plurk.com/adders

Nipped to the garage for some milk. It was packed. Are people trying to beat the petrol price rises?
Yours sincerely, smug new EV owner.
News matters. But so does empathy for our audience. And the pandemic taught us that overwhelming people with bad news they can’t act on causes news avoidance. onemanandhisblog.com/2022/02/balanc…
@jonhew @charliehtweets We’re having to check that professional journalists have actually verified what they’re amplifying. Depressing isn’t it?
