Anil Dash : Tweets: @mimosaishere and @rdw0409 Tweets: Acid Slice Decemberista / @mimosaishere : “Links take us to places where we can make choices that Instagram never would.” | Adore the inherent anarchy and precision in @anildash's analysis here: https://anildash.com/... Rob Aughtnik / @rdw0409 : “U” in “URL” is for universal, and the open web lives and dies by functioning standard links. 100% agreement on this. https://anildash.com/...
