Are people blogging more?
I’m not sure if it’s just me reading more but in the last week or so I’m noticing people blogging more. For my following list it seems people are tweeting less and blogging more – this is great. I genuinely feel that for some (me included) there’s a bit of an awakening to how social […]

Trying to take a one week break from social media
An interesting read on the effects of taking a one week break from social media on mental health. As someone that has their own mental health challenges I’m going to give this one a go, especially with WWDC looming and the draw to always being online. The present study shows that asking people to take […]

Growth above all else
As I feared growth above all else wins and this’ll be the straw that broke the camels back for my use of Twitter should it happen.
