I caught up and listened to the latest episode of Analogue, wherein Twitter alternatives are spoken about. It was a lot of fun!
There is a lot of truth in the episode, re: Twitter’s strengths.
Reminder: MB is not a Twitter replacement.
In fun news for Android users, Google:
So much for Pixel vs iPhone.

Yikes.
A good tip from @abbey regarding the fragility of the Micro.blog post editor. For longer form writing I strongly suggest an editor external to the browser or at least one not dependent on the web for functionality.
