"Now, I need to find an article I read recently, which linked Facebook use to depression, because people were assuming that their friends "shiny, happy" Facebook lives were their true and complete lives. We need a new language and new skills to navigate our way through this new social world." - Adam Tinworth

"I do actually teach a course in it: http://www.journalism.co.uk/li... Don't think I've ever written a post about it, though. Good thought. I'll put it on my to-do list." - Adam Tinworth

"I look forwards to seeing what you come up with. :-)" - Adam Tinworth

"My wife and I agreed a few early pictures, and now I get people actively soliciting for more Hazel pics on Facebook. Not sure we have an answer yet - it's very much an on-going discussion between us." - Adam Tinworth

"I want self-driving cars up and running before I feel safe with flying cars... :-)" - Adam Tinworth

"I struggle with this - but in a different way. My wife is very keen to have no social media profile to speak of. If you Google her, you'll pretty much just get her academic publications. This has consequences for me, of course. Like you, people could wonder if I'm still married, or if there's a problem in my marriage. There isn't, but this lopsided view of who I am online could give that impression. It's more important, though, that I respect her wishes than portraying a completely 100% public view of myself. And all of this has been further complicated by the arrival of our daughter…" - Adam Tinworth

"Lovely chap. He has the all-too-rare gift of writing administrative e-mails that don't sound officious… :-)" - Adam Tinworth

"Interesting question - I'd not got much further than "what's the point of meta-creation on top of a curation site?" I'll go away, think, and post when I have an answer…" - Adam Tinworth

"My feelings are certainly mixed - there's part of me that misses the political simplicity I had two decades ago, which would have had me strapping on my dancing shoes… I've read too much, seen too much and experienced too much since then to still feel that way, though. And I'm actually looking forward to reading the thoughtful pro and con analyses that will be written in the coming weeks. I very nearly went into the Twitter morality game aspect more deeply, but came to conclusion I didn't want to be that social media douchebag who wrote a long "What's Thatcher's death means for social media" post (a headline I'm afraid to Google). But I couldn't resist stealing your excellent meta-piety phrase, along with a link to the source, for future reference… ;-)" - Adam Tinworth

"I've got a busy May coming up with loads of marking and some training work. After. That, hopefully we'll have some more time for rest" - Adam Tinworth

"I wish I could take longer, but those bills need paying… :-)" - Adam Tinworth

"I still had 3G access on my iPad, but still, you do miss it..." - Adam Tinworth

"I do! And I have time now.... :-)" - Adam Tinworth

"About four days ago." - Adam Tinworth

"You shouldn't need to touch your CSS (and there's a WordPress plugin that can do it for you, I believe)" - Adam Tinworth

"And, rather gratifyingly, working already." - Adam Tinworth

"Yup - and I'd rather encourage companies to treat me as a customer, not a product. :-)" - Adam Tinworth

"To be fair, Google has pretty much alway made money - and a lot of it. I think this is more about focus and that focus is very much on mainstream tools and services." - Adam Tinworth

"Like I said - it's a rule of thumb, I'll pay and support specialist companies where I can, and that's my preference for services I rely on. Flexibility is important in all, things, obviously. Cars break down, you need to move house… But it's still reasonable to take protective action to minimise such disruption if it's not necessary." - Adam Tinworth

"I think the fact that Google makes it pretty clear they don't actually give a damn about the many dedicated users who are being left high and dry by this decision is at least one good trigger for anger. They made to real attempt to smooth the transition to another service easy for the average, non-techie user." - Adam Tinworth

"Just got around to doing this (although, as a non-WP user, it required a little hand-coding into my templates). Roughly how long did approval take?" - Adam Tinworth

"Little or none. It's such a token way of repurposing print content for the web. It makes good old shovelware seem almost progressive…" - Adam Tinworth

"Blummin' annoying? Ah, that Mayfield understatement. :) It all feels like part of a noxious Silicon Valley trend of utter disregard for users, of which the acquihire is the most unpleasant example. It makes me more determined to only rely on services which have a clear business model, and which allow me to be a customer, not a user: Evernote and Dropbox, for example." - Adam Tinworth
