@anildash Pleasingly, "your pitch is Slack" forms a complete, meaningful sentence.
The #nyse is down because of a single point of failure? Something something #redecentralize something #indieweb something #open!
Ben's amazing weight loss plan:
1. Walk 7 miles a day

ICYMI: we released some of our research into #podcast listeners this morning. More (much more) to come. http://stream.withknown.com/2015/hear-this-new-data-about-podcast-listeners
@libbybrittain Good info! Wish I had AppleCare now, and/or had thought to invest in a good case ... But thank you!
Aaaand I shattered the screen on my iPhone 6+. Can anyone recommend a place to get it rescreened in San Francisco / the East Bay?
