We continue to fight for your right to communicate freely and privately.

Now, when connecting to WhatsApp directly is not possible, you can stay connected around the world through a server set up by volunteers and organizations dedicated to helping others communicate freely.

I remember the 2007 Twitter days of TweetUps in London.

We’d just go to the pub and meet people because they were also on Twitter. No shared interest, no theme. Just people on Twitter talking about Twitter. It was awesome.

I’ll be so sad if this weird little bird app dies.

Our team at 01 Advisors put together this community a couple weeks ago to help the Twitter Alumni Network stay connected as a large number of folks work to figure out what's next. It's active and productive and has already been a great resource for people
