My family and I live in Portland OR, gleefully playing vinyl records when the Internet connection sputters. We run Spinney Media - physical distribution for all indie musicians and labels, too. SpinneyMedia.com/faq

the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine
