  • jamillahhhh Jim Miller (@jamillahhhh) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @merket @LauraCatPJs Key word there is “was”. Loved Wunderlist and used all the time. Tolerate MSFT To Do because I need a decent Task list Skype WAS also great but quickly went down hill. This is a terrible idea for TikTok but great for someone building a competitor

    @AlboMP & @ScottMorrisonMP ... why can’t you go digital? The rest of the world is working from home. Why can’t you? I’m sure ZOOM or SKYPE or FACEBOOK would be happy to help. And there’s the @abcnews service you can take over too. Transparency is vital
