The copycats must have made the calculation that if twitvid.io couldn't afford to buy twitvid.com, they wouldn't be able to afford lawyers either. I hope twitvid.com finds out they are wrong.

More food for thought.. "Enroll" feels like there is going to be some requirement of me, and I wasn't willing to make that commitment yet. This isn't the right language, but something like "keep tabs on this course", or simply "follow", or

I signed up. The "conversational japanese" course was highly rated and recommended, so I enrolled in it, but I don't know what to do now. There doesn't seem to be anything there. Where's the course? The "enroll" button was a bit scary, I

My parents tried to home school me in the late 80's, early 90's (they were very religious). It turned into unschooling, because I was able to plow through the "curriculum" in very little time, and then spent all the rest of my time online.

Umair Haque is actually quite brilliant, nothing at all like the stupid social media marketing people. His style kind of rubs people the wrong way, but there's a lot people can learn from him. I recommend this presentation he did a couple
