I'm launching a new social media app. It's called BIRB. This is the logo. It's the only app that demands you crochet, knit or embroider your posts.
Posts are called 'Yarns', editing a Yarn is called Darning, threads are called Tapestries, pile-ons are Shag Piles, blocking is called Black-Sheeping.

@Richard_Littler Software revisions are called patches of course. Hope it doesn't unravel like that other place seems to be.

@Richard_Littler
Sorry to burst the BIRB bubble, you may get a legal challenge to this as it's already in place. It's not available on phones yet, but people 'yarn scroll' via charity shops and pillar box tops.

Is pillar box a term still used or am I stuck in the 1920s?

@Richard_Littler Cool. I am launching an app called MUSKER. It's the only app that demands that you tag your posts onto the hood of a Tesla car. Reposts are done by slashing one tire. Obviously only four reposts are possible.

If you give attention to someone's "yarns" are you "needling" them?
