If random Twitter users send @mentions to "@mywebrtclobby" then no other users will likely see these tweets unless they already follow each of the various Twitter users sending the @mentions. However if you connected @mywebRTClobb

To be fair, once you hit 260 characters, it starts counting down, showing you that you have 20 characters left. I like the circle. It puts less emphasis on number of characters you are using, so perhaps people won't be as motivated to

Hmm. Driving from provider to provider when trying to "shop around" is really not that feasible for most people. But I suppose it could work better. I'm skeptical though. Finding the appropriate "accounting" folks i

This is not common. Not sure why you feel so compelled to disagree with all the other posters regarding their headaches with healthcare billing/cost experiences throughout this thred. Odd. I contacted multiple hospitals for cost estima

I'm genuinely curious where and for what types of procedures you have had so much success in getting pricing/cost info up front for. As most of the people in this thread have experienced its a maddening process. I've tried se

Total shot in the dark, but perhaps Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel due to his ties to the White House (former Obama chief of staff). What other mayors would even know this type of opportunity existed?!

Can specific apps still block airplay? I haven't used AppleTV in a long time, but it was crazy frustrating when certain apps restricted you from being able to airplay to a big screen. I'm guessing mirroring the entire screen might

This is an entirely misleading garbage statistic. This statistic only relates to the rather small Kansas City Missouri public school district which only contains an estimated 17,500 students. The author is misleading readers to believe that

Group DMs are not yet available through the API. Its not clear if/when they will make Group DMs available via the API. As for GroupTweet, only a small subset of our users use GroupTweet for Group DM type purposes. I'm optimistic
