Ten years ago I stopped posting to this account because I was ready to move beyond Twitter. I think we've built something unique over at https://t.co/cJ2MHtGdzo. An open platform based on blogs, community principles, that peers with Mastodon too. Made by people who love the web.

Time flies. It has been nearly 7 years since I stopped posting to this Twitter account. Please follow @mantonsblog instead for my latest microblog posts, photos, and full blog posts. Thanks!

I'll leave you with this: a collection of 450 tweets after Steve Jobs died, one year ago today. Twitter at its best. http://t.co/beULFn8u

[Manton Reece @manton]

Today we have a very special episode of Core Intuition: remembering Steve Jobs. http://t.co/1ghCuYhH

Two more tweets and then I'll sign off of Twitter. Sadly, I won't be replying to mentions. Email me or find me on ADN: https://t.co/d7u184GV

@pbur @marcoarment Not soon. I still love my 4S. Also unlike @danielpunkass I'm under contract. Speed and camera are tempting me, though.

@ArnoavecunO Tweet Marker knows about your account (from the client), but it's not linked/authorized in Twitter's UI like a normal app.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@pbowden @justin Perfect.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@justin Ha! No, sadly not. I think I'm adding enough drama to this as it is. :-)

[Manton Reece @manton]

If you think about what you post here as a story, when viewed over years, it just makes sense for the last tweet to matter.

[Manton Reece @manton]

We recorded a special episode of @coreint that will go live tomorrow. That's (partly) why I picked tomorrow as my last day here on Twitter.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@jtdavis Still having sync problems? Tweet Marker seems okay, so let me know if it's still not working.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@flibblesan @wezknowles @philicibine I may have missed the API request. @boidapp, if you can re-send it, I'll approve it right away. Sorry!

[Manton Reece @manton]

I've had some people ask if I'll turn off the Tweet Marker API. Answer: no way. I'm very proud of Tweet Marker and the clients that use it.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@duncan Yeah, maybe a little of both. And even today, there's something special about Twitter, even if I feel like it has lost its way.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@Padraig I'm really liking Wedge for Mac.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@chrisdejabet Nope! Tweet Marker is alive and well. No plans for any change there now that clients and users depend on it.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@macguitar @antichrista That is my concern as well. :-) Which is why I'm making a point to mention leaving; it kinda holds me accountable.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@MoervYO Not happy with the leadership at Twitter and the direction against many third-party developers.

[Manton Reece @manton]

@blanquepixel In some ways, RSS is better since there's less chance of missing something important. But Twitter-like has more community.
