@Chancerubbage @Gargron @verge if it's "verge" something or other, it was probably an unofficial bot of their Twitter feed. (I follow a few of them IIRC.)
As I understand it, this will be their official verified account. (although it still had the "bot" label last I checked earlier today after the @davidpierce toot.
@pabloniusmonk @Gargron @verge @davidpierce I think in their ‘bio’ it might have said it was only a distribution bot.
I may been told privately too, saying it was only a bot and ‘you can comment on our site’ and I may have nastily replied ‘what ever I replied is for others that might read it HERE, not for registered users of your site. I’m not feeding my email to be resold to every news blog out there for just yet another ‘platform’ to track discussion and be pummeled with notifications.
