Twitter’s risk of dying is increasing day after day.
Over the years I’ve saved a lot of informative tweets. I’m gonna try sharing as much of them as I can before...
Anyway, this was/is(?) a thread by Ben Meer @[email protected]
His website: https://systemsunday.com/
On to the thread: 10 Free websites so useful they should come pre-bookmarked on every browser:
1. Quillbot
A free paraphrasing website (popular among students).
• Input text and hit Rephrase

2. #12ftLadder
Want to read an article, but there’s a paywall?

I want to make it clear that gathering these 10 interesting websites, was not my work but that of Ben Meer.
However, since he shared this on the bird-site, I’m pretty sure that he would love it that others will enjoy this info on this medium as well.
I do hope that twitter is still alive and kicking tomorrow (eh... in a couple of hours) so I can continue sharing here on mastodon🐘 all the fantastic things/tweets I learned through it.
