• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

The alt-Twitter social media website Pebble is closing down… we briefly had a presence there in a quest to move away from ecks.

They said “we were not growing quickly enough for investors…” and I sympathise with that. Twitter has never turned a profit but that, somehow, hasn’t stopped them.

So much of today’s internet is determined by a small group of rather greedy people who need a quick-hit RoI, especially from startups. Things would be so much nicer, I feel, if organic growth were given a chance.

Anyway, the search continues...
