.@Citymapper@twitter.com you showed and still show that all is fine at Waterloo this morning. Actually all trains are cancelled. So I made a 30 minute tube journey only to have to turn around. Not a happy user.
Just deleted the Google app from my phone due to an unwanted advertisement for a film sent to me via push notification. This is an abuse of the notification mechanism, and they should know better. Unfortunately it's becoming an all-to-common anti-pattern that is giving notifications a bad name.

"Please interrupt me if I use an acronym or term you don't understand"
This isn't a new speaking tip - and it is one I've stolen from several other speakers on the conference circuit - but I want to explain how it made me feel to use it. I started my talk at Hackference Birmingham with an impassioned plea to the audience. If you don't understand something I've…[...]

Developers are learning #immersiveweb tech at the #SDC18 Code Lab under the tutelage of @diekus and @ada
Standing room only for our #SDC18 Samsung Developer Conference on @samsunginternet@twitter.com, next gen webapps (#PWA) and the #ImmersiveWeb.
Very impressed with Jeewon Lee's #SDC18 keynote on OneUI. Great to see such an emphasis on improving mobile UX.
Getting set up for the @samsunginternet@twitter.com Code Lab at #SDC18 where @diekus@twitter.com @Lady_Ada_King@twitter.com & @MetaverseOne@twitter.com will be pleased to take you through our #immersiveweb @aframevr@twitter.com tutorial via @glitch@twitter.com!
The last time I was in San Francisco on election night it was 2008. That was a wild night. I helped to run an unconference about mobile tech for social change and then we went to a bar and watched the results come in.

The course of civilisation turns towards openness, tolerance and peace. 🕊️

Hi folks. Just checking in. Have you had a glass of water today? Maybe today is a good day to check in with someone you care about. Hang in there.
4 for 4. Absolutely loving the new #DoctorWho. Real characters. Real dialog. Real science. Complex and ambiguous situations. New and different and really really good.
“U.S. Law Enforcement Failed to See the Threat of White Nationalism. Now They Don’t Know How to Stop It.” https://nyti.ms/2CXrrpm This is a sobering read, but good to see @nytimes@twitter.com calling out far right extremism / white nationalism for what it is: a cancer.
