       | 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.

       | I'm a bit user of Nuzzel and this isn't entirely unexpected, but
       | I'm disappointed. Nuzzel allowed me to catch up on links from my
       | Twitter stream without me getting caught up in infinite scrolling
       | and distracting conversations. It didn't replace Twitter, but let
       | me use it in a different way.
       | 
       | 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.
