You know the weather is playing up when your Nest is displaying ‘information’ that you have never seen before … air quotes because an amber icon is definitely trying to tell me something … but what?
🔗 The microblogging ecosystem post Twitter

Nice summary from @adders on the state of whatever it is that the ‘Twitter Wars’ are all about. My take - he’s not wrong. I often reference Timothy Ruff on this …
.. though he in turn says we should thank Mike Masnick for the wisdom. Either way, what we all should be rooting for includes ‘open’, ‘portable’, ‘transparent’, you know … all the stuff that people should care about - but somehow the vast majority seem not to.
Protocols are the answer. The trick will need the corporations to give way on their walled garden mentality and the engineers building this brave new world to understand that the other 99.999999999% of the world won’t do it if it is ‘too hard’ - and ‘too hard’ means for the average person - not the MIT rocket scientist.

When was the last time unseeded players won both the women’s and men’s finals at Wimbledon?
The potential replacements just for Twitter reminds me of when Social Media was getting started … Six Degrees, Orkut, MySpace, FourSquare, Scout, Bebo, Ning, Friendster, Friends ReUnited, Virb, Twine …. and no I didn’t remember them all - I just dived into 1Password and sorted by ‘date created’.

🪦 Et tu Jane? So it seems.
Farewell. We all knew you. I know we didn’t.
I’m so sorry … but OMFC … I’ve pulled out of this conversation - which is why I am here … but the others aren’t.
Why can’t they see how they are being played. They are bright people … very BRIGHT - and still being sucked in to the questions with impossible answers.
Where are the guns again?
