Nuzzel is going away for now

For me, the whole point of the service was to get interesting links without exposing myself to the hostility the social media tends to have. In other words, I could use Twitter without engaging with it.

I don't expect the less-engaging nature of the service lasts after the acquisition. If they create a paid link aggregation service however, that can be something loved from people who stay away from the timelines. I'll maintain a lukewarm hope there.

Nuzzel replaced a similar -- but much better -- tool that I can no longer remember, after it shut down as well. At this points I'll probably have to create yet another side-project to do what Nuzzel was doing for me.

And incredibly, one of the potentially most useful features of Twitter, that they received on the plate through acquistion, and completely failed to incorporate into the product, is getting shut down. Decisions like these are definetely either way above or way below my pay grade.
