I’ve Stopped Using Twitter (And So Has My Dog)
Final Update: In response to the user revolt Twitter gets it right, which renders the rest of this post no longer applicable.
***********************
Because of the latest change, after over 2 years it’s now bye bye twitter for me (and my dog).
I have another large online sale of Irish paintings coming up and, as I’ve written elsewhere, unless twitter reinstates the ability to follow all @replies, the best way to be aware of the announcement of when it starts is by keeping up with my other blog. You can do that by RSS, by email subscriptions, or by fortuitous browsing.
As usual I will post here on it too but by then some paintings may have sold.

Update: Following 2 further updates from the twitter team, I’m going to carry on with Twitter for now, despite losing about 90% of my twitterstream but the longer term depends on their planned changes.
