Enough twitter#
  • BTW, to be clear, I have no interest in working on twitter-like systems.#
  • It's been like a prison to writers, we're stuck with this huge divide, with crap on both sides. #
  • These things exist, they have a jumble of APIs and ways to integrate. #
  • And we've been playing by the rules laid down by Twitter (ev, biz and jack) for 18 freaking years. That's enough. #
  • This will never get sorted out until people realize it needs sorting out.#
  • Not expecting much more to happen there. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
