Re: Nuzzel is going away for now
#2I used to use Nuzzel and I liked it a lot, although I stopped using it for some reasons I don't remember.
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.

#3I'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.

You can do an advanced search against your follow list and filter out replies and only tweets with links. Might be useful for you.

#5Idea behind Nuzzle had incredible potential. Sift through all the noise of Twitter in one click?
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.

Interesting. Not clear how "against your follow list" works though. Any tip is appreciated!

Dunno. Probably in the post request. But it shows up on the main search page as an option.

Yup - this is what I liked about Nuzzel, especially as political rhetoric in particular continues to get overheated on Twitter. Ultimately I found ignoring Twitter to be even better. I surface more interesting stuff on sites like this one than Twitter. It wasn’t always like that, but Twitter has been moving from being focused on a way to discover ideas to an outrage generating machine in the soulless chase for engagement at all costs for some time now. It’s rather disgusting so I no longer help feed the beast and perpetuate the problem. And I have a lot less stress in my life as well - win win!
