My Mondays have been a bit of a blur lately, trying to finish a bunch of things at once. Looking forward to queueing up the latest episode of Micro Monday.

Since the day I introduced Tweet Marker, people wondered if Twitter would add an official timeline sync API. They never did and clearly never will. It’s been about 7 years.

Thinking about Favstar shutting down. No doubt the first of several new casualties from Twitter’s latest rule changes. The end of the third-party Twitter era has a kind a “let the past die” feel to it.

Downtown today for a meeting and while I like getting out, there are so many little ways to get derailed and lose all productivity. It’s after lunch and just feel like I’m starting to get some stuff done. Now at Alta’s for coffee and work, overlooking the lake.

There’s an interview with me in the latest Club MacStories email newsletter. I talk a bit about the goals of Micro.blog and how people are using the platform. Also a link to Icro!

Trying to get the costs down for WWDC and other trips this year, I’ve decided to document my estimated budget and final expenses. We’ll see how close I get.

Just posted a new Core Intuition with a discussion about Google Duplex, App Store pricing, and Daniel’s rewrite of MarsEdit’s image handling code.

Registered a brand new .app domain this week but not sure where to point it? Micro.blog-hosted blogs make nice product sites. 🙂 Easy setup, custom pages, and a microblog for app news.

One of the best things about not having an ad-supported business is it doesn’t bother us if you use an app like Icro instead of the official Micro.blog app. No need to control the timeline experience. Use whatever you like best.
