Like Tom MacWright, I too have almost no need for Google these days, with one exception: Chat. I have a couple of friends with whom I enjoy messaging, and they aren't about to go anywhere else. I already use YakYak. Is there any way I could message their GTalk without having a Google account myself?
Huge congratulations to @nprDanCharles, @mgodoyh and everyone else at The Salt for their well-deserved #jbfa
I really do not understand the nofilter tag on Instagram. Is it really that meaningful to point out that you just snapped a shot and didn't mess with it later?
Me neither! Came up yesterday in a MOOC I am studying. It's the little things ...
You could do worse than look at @WithKnown for a reasonably simple solution. It isn't quite as easy to use, but it isn't that difficult either.
Managed about an hour of "gardening" before the drizzle began. So that's good.
@rosemaryorchard Have you looked at the hibbitts design open publishing space for Gerav and Git?
Absolutely correct. The people are eager and willing to help, and I would not have got anywhere without them. Which is why I am careful to say that I see no deliberate effort to exclude anyone. But as you say, it isn't ready for everyone either. Nor will it be, I don't think.

Digging into how withknown creates RSS feeds, I can see two things.
One is that for a status post, which has no title, `<title>` is a truncated version of the post content, although the level of truncation seems to vary. Not sure why.
The other is that even status posts, with a truncated `<title>`, have a full `<description>` that includes `p-name` and `e-content` and even `entry-content`.
But micro.blog does not seem to read `<description>` at least not when it is coming from my withknown RSS feed.
Puzzling.
Is there, anywhere, a definitive guide to how micro.blog truncates posts it receives via RSS?
