Oh, looks like I was half right.

I don't like tapping on buttons I don't comprehend. There's no affordance. But on this occasion I'll throw caution to the wind and try it. (My guess is it's a link URL to the individual post.)

Oh, perhaps it's British. By the way, what's the anchor button I've just noticed?

Haha. Fast!

When I went to try this on my £15 Android phone I thought 'this is never gonna work'…but it actually goes like shit off a stick (stream scrolling).

When I first came here a few days ago there was a slight initial stick or delay on the stream when I swiped up or down on the iPad, nothing too bad. But I've just realised that's gone now. It's all smooth and fast.

So it's not microblogging then. What do we call it, blurbing?

What's the character limit on a blurb?

I envy those people who go off their food when they're fed up or sad. That could be a handy trait to have.
