While I enjoyed twitter for many years, learned from it, made new friends through it, and even used it to save my stolen dog, I'm just not into what it has become. I'm stepping away for now. If you are looking for me, you'll find me on LinkedIn.

@kavatarz @culturecrush_ie @FranceIrelandCh @patric_reynolds @primpandstyle @leanduffy @garytimpson That makes sense. I thought you were EXTREMELY sharply dressed for a panel moderator.

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

@Bill_Linnane Probably. But in general I’m dubious about health warnings on beer. Would hate it to go the way of cigarettes.

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

@Bill_Linnane Thanks Bill. Always enjoy doing them, but only one time of year where it’s generally acceptable to waste 3 hours on a Saturday carving a vegetable.

My latest pumpkin…

@mneylon I have been politely told that I'm abusing the policy in an all you can drink Tokyo restaurant. Sorry to have missed you, was there until yesterday.

My youngest son Isaac has (finally) completed his 5 part claymation series 'Talking to Strangers'. I hope you enjoy this surreal and beautiful finale. If you didn't catch the previous ones, you have 5 amazing episodes to look forward to. https://t.co/d5ori1NHKu

@chrisoshea @unity @UnrealEngine So frustrating. If they don’t change this they’ll be the next Adobe Flash. It’s like we are being asked to pay a corporate stupidity tax.

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

As a @unity user and supporter for 12+ years, I couldn't feel more abused by their new runtime pricing plan. They have given @UnrealEngine the best gift they could. Rather than saving their business, this will likely lead to their demise. Rightly so. https://t.co/A5vW1zmUwv

This might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen on an airplane.

@elainesnowden Could be a picture of an average day in my kitchen 🙄

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

Blown away to see our newest app ‘Barbie Color Creations’ is App of the Day in the US @AppStore . Always so grateful to see the teams hard work recognised.

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

@patphelan @WhatsApp If it was copying anything other than twitter at this exact moment in time, I'd agree 100%. But if twitter keeps making itself a lesser version of what it was, maybe there's a chance.

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

Absolutely delighted to have our flagship @LEGO_Group app joining the lineup in Apple Arcade next month.

I’m grateful for the support we receive from Apple & our partners. Also grateful to my team for making good apps.

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

@itsDod @StoryToys Thanks Damian, I really appreciate the kind words. If you include contract work you beat me to the 10 year club, but I think July 2017 was the official start, so you've a couple of years to go yet. I'm looking forward to them :)

[Emmet O'Neill @Emmet]

10 years ago I took a chance and joined a little startup called @StoryToys. Since then the company has been through ups AND downs. But I'm grateful of the journey & am proud of what it has grown in to & of the amazing team. I can't wait to see what the next 10 years will bring.
