Re: [twitter-dev] Keep it real
Hey Abraham, You have been a big part of the life blood on this list. Sad I won't see you around that much. Twitter's dev growth has exploded since I got involved over 24 months ago and ever since then I noticed you have been all over this list and one of the biggest rockstars for the twitter dev community. Almost infamous. I literally seen people seeking you out just to meet you at that dev meet up we had here in SF earlier this year after you tweeted you were there which is pretty epic. You have posted 1154 messages to this list which is just shy from being the top poster (just ~50 behind Al3x from when he was around). That number just blows my mind. You not being here as much will make a huge dent that will be really hard to fill. Hope for the best in your quest for a work and hope we can work on something awesome together someday.

Re: [twitter-dev] Keep it real
Thanks a ton Abraham for all your help on this list, you will be missed. As for a possible replacement for Q/A off of this list, has a stackoverflow sort of site been considered? I think this would make a good addition to the dev.twitter.com website. Just an idea.

Re: [twitter-dev] Keep it real
Abraham, Really sorry to hear that we'll be losing you. You have been a HUGE part of this community for many years and have helped countless developers make their way through, at times, really choppy waters. We can't thank you enough for the time and energy you have put into helping developers in the twitter API community grow and please know we are really appreciative of all your efforts. FWIW, we are all in agreement that the mailing list is probably no longer the right tool for the community and are actively looking at other solutions. Any suggestions are welcome. If you ever need a reference, please consider us top of the list :) Best wishes and hopefully we'll find you lurking.

Re: [twitter-dev] Keep it real
Abraham, Thank you for all your help and contribution to this community. I know lots of people (including myself) who owe you a debt of gratitude for the help you have given here. I feel your pain, so to speak, as I have become similarly recluse on this list. I'm sure we'll see you lurking around every so often :) -Chad On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 9:13 PM, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be on the list much going > forward.
