Yes, that's me. And no, I don't watch terrestrial TV, or read magazines. Yes, I use Twitter now, but I'd like to move away from it, especially if it continues to move in the direction that it's going... hence my subscription to App.net and

Apart from the fact that it's extremely early days for App.net right now, this article assumes that Twitter will remain as it is now, and not deteriorate further with significantly increased levels of advertising and spam. App.net will like

There are no doubt a lot of users like me: I don't have a Facebook account, and I will _never_ have a Facebook account. The result of my personal policy and utter dislike of Facebook is that as soon as I see a Facebook login popup on a new

I was surprised that 4Clojure wasn't mentioned. It's a great little site that poses Clojure problems in easily digestible chunks. http://www.4clojure.com/
