        @aral that's actually an interesting and legitimate perspective. Every other tweet from you depresses me in a morbid reality way. Ha

        @Skurk32 Dude, don’t mean to depress you, sorry — but if we’re aware of things we can build alternatives & that’s positive + constructive :)

        @aral ah, I dig. I used Twitter before the AppStore via Twinkle.App. Still think that was the golden age- no trash to be seen.

        @KlnGra The dinosaur is actually Facebook’s ‘privacy dinosaur’ as part of their effort to make people feel ‘more comfortable’

        @aral Genius, not much to fear with a dinosaur buddy. Unless Sam Neill starts endorsing spyware.
