New feature by @carolinesinders: Content moderators are keeping the web safe in an unsafe world. The need for moderation did not stop when #Covid19 spread and neither should our support of the health and safety of the moderators, say experts. glitch.com/glimmer/post/c…

You can sum up a recent recommendation for healing the ailing news industry in the words of a recent Google ad campaign: Make Google do it. But while news-industry lobbyists want 💰, the indie publishers I talked to had non-monetary requests. glitch.com/glimmer/post/g…

"Incident response is a team effort, but more specifically, it's like being part of an orchestra because everybody has their own part to play." glitch.com/glimmer/post/m…

Have you heard? @glitch has it's own industry podcast, #ShiftShiftForward! You can find it and all of our media at @Glimmer! So far we've talked gaming, tech adjacency, and this week- what it's like from the inside when the site goes down. glitch.com/glimmer/podcas…

"I envision code being seen as a normal everyday tool, like a pen and paper, hammer and nail... folks who find the apps they use are not serving their needs or harming them or others... they'll use code to make their own tech in response." - @jennschiffer glitch.com/glimmer/episod…

"The tools you use can dramatically change the approach to in-class assignments and demonstrations." Our most popular story in April, written by @everyplace, examines #remotelearning methods and tools from the perspective of a fourth-generation teacher. glitch.com/glimmer/post/r…

As publishers increasingly demand that Google pay up to make up for leaving so little of the digital-ads market for them, Google is now prompting publishers about what to create. But indie news sites may not benefit either way. And adtech remains broken. glitch.com/glimmer/post/g…

We, too, are also now on Twitter!

New: What comes up in your top search results, and who pays for it to be there? glitch.com/glimmer/post/g… by @robpegoraro for @Glimmer

Are DMs part of social media? Interesting discussion here: glitch.com/glimmer/post/a…

Very happy to publish my profile on Melody Loveless, a livecoding artist working to prove that tech can be welcoming and beautiful, rather than just a dystopian nightmare! glitch.com/glimmer/post/l…

Glimmer's latest original feature by @jcbretan is on what else? Virtual reality baking. A widespread move towards high-tech tools is playing a larger role in Polish life and culture, even as the nation and world copes with coronavirus. glit.ch.it/2vRnGkd

This blog from @glitch came at a perfect time for me: I've written bad code. I have unfinished projects. That's ok! I am not a failure! Learn to love your bad code. #dev glitch.com/glimmer/post/a…

I talked to @glitch about how the #COVID crisis is shaping the way we look at work, communication, and expressing empathy (and Aaron Fernandez made an awesome illustration to go with it!) glitch.com/glimmer/post/f…

I haven’t really written in forever, but I wrote about Animal Crossing. It’s kind of personal and thus embarrassing but I’m proud of it! 🍃🍃 glitch.com/glimmer/post/a…

.@carolinesinders’ top focus: "For my Better Tech @glitch column, I wrote about Zoom, harassment, & wondering what communities need right now w/ everyone online: how are tools lacking? This led to a project funded by @OmidyarNetwork." Read: bit.ly/3dod502 #DItalksCOVID19

Like @carolinesinders x @glitch new column; on @caseorganic, #cobol & Calm Technology. ⚡️Technology should work even when it fails ⚡️ The right amount of technology is the minimum needed to solve the problem (just enough internet, @rachelcoldicutt?) glitch.com/glimmer/post/b…

I wrote a piece on how we are using video-conferencing tools in a variety of new ways, from karaoke, to brunches, etc, and creating new kinds of social interaction. But these business focused tools weren't designed for those kinds of social experiences. glitch.com/glimmer/glimme…
