@snapster aha! I can understand why you’d grandfather certain things — like allowing existing fart apps to remain in the store while not approving others. but saying ‘we won’t take 30 percent from these older email apps but we will from new ones’ seems blatantly anti-competitive — PolitiTweet.org

@WillOremus someday these platforms will realize that they need actual systems of justice but that’s still a ways away — PolitiTweet.org

@WillOremus but they didn’t say what the ‘error’ was, right? what a mess — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffWPa i just have a longstanding complaint that it’s stagnant and instead of building new stuff it just sues google for antitrust in various ways — PolitiTweet.org

@johnolilly if you do a lot of personal email, it’s worth trying for a couple weeks. if most of your email is corporate, I don’t think it’s ready for you — PolitiTweet.org
