quite a few people who came over from twitter have gone back to twitter. i understand why: it's hard to cut ties with the people you've made friends with, adjust to a new UI (and one that doesn't function quite that well), and managing more than one social media. but i'm not gonna say i'm not disappointed. if we don't actually give this a shot, it has no chance of succeeding. however, i'm quite glad of the people who did jump ship and stayed. y'all are good lads.
