@indigo their first names differ. Sometimes.
:D :D

@phoneboy there's now 4 always open tabs on my browser - MB, Cafe Mocha, Beta unsweets, and my RSS reader :)
Too much distraction, indeed!

@hazardwarning if you pay the $5, you 'host' on his platform, otherwise his platform is just for replies, and you host on your own setup. Frankly, that all is still a pain.
I knew from the get go that the book was a waste of time. Had a feeling.

@kdfrawg there's a Nitin Khanna in Portland who is an entrepreneur. Has been active in weed startups and has been accused of sexual misconduct. Totally the bane of my online existence! :D :D

@kdfrawg Patels are very common and a large enough community, more visible to you because they came out of the country a lot. They started off as merchants and traders but they're very intelligent, so they're attracted to the medical profession in droves.

@matigo yes, it is a niche. I had my brother sign up and the first thing he said was - why should I pay? It's the same as twitter! Totally missed the point!
// @phoneboy
@phoneboy it does in a way solve the problem, if you believe microblog will work better than twitter because it's paid.
// @matigo
Jeez. You folks had a full blown conversation around my one post while I was out. Ok, catching up now.
@phoneboy yeah, the $5/mo thing is an odd thing and quite the turn off.
I've got half a mind to start a 'free' service for people to create microblogs which they can then plug into micro.blog :)
Kinda like my liveblog.nitinkhanna.com thing
