On this, the week that verified Twitter users supposedly lose their blue ticks, Substack opens its Substack Notes function. I do not have a Substack app on my phone, but I do subscribe to several newsletters using that service, and so this morning I got an email headed “Welcome to Substack Notes,” which informed me that some of those newsletter writers were active on that function, and offered me a handy link to take a look.
It’s Twitter. I mean, it’s really just Twitter. But for Substack. Complete with that thing where you scroll for sixty seconds, and right there, someone in your feed who you do not know who is telling you about things you can do with “AI.”
I hope I do not get sent a lot of “reminders” to use Substack Notes, as I’d hate to have to unsubscribe from the Substack-published newsletters I read.
