GoodLinks has released version 2.0 with highlighting! It has been along time in coming, but it seems to be well executed and will certainly streamline my workflow. Also, I think they handled the upgrade pricing fairly. šŸ‘šŸ¼

Some reasons I switched to Micro.blog.

  • Solid stable platform with features I actually use.
  • Use of open standards and interoperability with other services.
  • Actively developed with new features and updates.
  • Feels like a community, not just a service.
