Ten years ago I stopped posting to this account because I was ready to move beyond Twitter. I think we’ve built something unique over at Micro.blog. An open platform based on blogs, community principles, that peers with Mastodon too. Made by people who love the web.
Time flies. It has been nearly 7 years since I stopped posting to this Twitter account. Please follow @mantonsblog instead for my latest microblog posts, photos, and full blog posts. Thanks!
I’ll leave you with this: a collection of 450 tweets after Steve Jobs died, one year ago today. Twitter at its best. watermark.io/collections/ma…
Today we have a very special episode of Core Intuition: remembering Steve Jobs. coreint.org/59
Two more tweets and then I’ll sign off of Twitter. Sadly, I won’t be replying to mentions. Email me or find me on ADN: alpha.app.net/manton
@pbur @marcoarment Not soon. I still love my 4S. Also unlike @danielpunkass I’m under contract. Speed and camera are tempting me, though.
@ArnoavecunO Tweet Marker knows about your account (from the client), but it’s not linked/authorized in Twitter’s UI like a normal app.
@justin Ha! No, sadly not. I think I’m adding enough drama to this as it is. :-)
If you think about what you post here as a story, when viewed over years, it just makes sense for the last tweet to matter.
We recorded a special episode of @coreint that will go live tomorrow. That’s (partly) why I picked tomorrow as my last day here on Twitter.
@jtdavis Still having sync problems? Tweet Marker seems okay, so let me know if it’s still not working.
@flibblesan @wezknowles @philicibine I may have missed the API request. @boidapp, if you can re-send it, I’ll approve it right away. Sorry!
I’ve had some people ask if I’ll turn off the Tweet Marker API. Answer: no way. I’m very proud of Tweet Marker and the clients that use it.
@duncan Yeah, maybe a little of both. And even today, there’s something special about Twitter, even if I feel like it has lost its way.
@Padraig I’m really liking Wedge for Mac.
@chrisdejabet Nope! Tweet Marker is alive and well. No plans for any change there now that clients and users depend on it.
@macguitar @antichrista That is my concern as well. :-) Which is why I’m making a point to mention leaving; it kinda holds me accountable.
@MoervYO Not happy with the leadership at Twitter and the direction against many third-party developers.
@blanquepixel In some ways, RSS is better since there’s less chance of missing something important. But Twitter-like has more community.
@antichrista Seeya! I don’t everyone to jump ship to ADN right away, but I think over the next few months there will be more folks there.
@swotam Thanks, I’m still sorting that out. I sometimes post from @riverfold about product-related news. There’s also my blog and ADN.
@jordanekay Thank you! Yeah, it hurts to leave after so long. Best of luck to you too.
@cocoaconf Great. Yep, I’m there now as manton.
@natevw For iOS, I hear Felix is good (I’m beta testing a couple others). For the Mac, Wedge is excellent. wedge.natestedman.com
