Canadian, Eh? Don’t lose your news to Google and Facebook bullying.
Worried about losing access to Canadian news via Google and Facebook? An even better way to get Canadian news is to subscribe to RSS feeds. I use https://feedly.com and subscribe to news sources I trust.

I’m returning to Tumblr after being away for a long time. In fact so long that of all the people I used to follow, only @linksfromshel and @wilwheaton are still active in my feed. Oh well, if not great in quantity, my feed is great in quality. :)

Hey Twitter, What's Happening?
Hey Twitter, What’s Happening?
…most [people] didn’t know or simply misunderstood what Twitter was for – many thought of Twitter primarily as a social network, a place to find and connect with friends and family members.
