### A little note to let you know I'm spinning off an alt account: @fourfourzappl. 
---

@zappl is a Steem app that focuses on microblogging. If you think of Steemit as more of a Tumblr/Wordpress/Reddit alternative, then Zappl is the Twitter equivalent.

I was a fairly prolific Twitter user before becoming disenchanted with the vibe on there. I'm not alone, I've seen plenty of artists I know talk about dialling down social media this year. It is soul crushing at times, so I empathise fully. I am taking this as a chance to reboot, shout into a new void, and if you want to join in on the ride, then jump on board.

The app is in beta and obviously has a few quirks. It was not behaving itself when I was attempting to attach an image using Chrome iOS and I can't see my follower list, but I'm sure things will pan out! As the great William Shakespeare once said, "why the fuck not?"

Also some of the people using it are finding their feet. Zappl is unique insofar as it only displays posts that are written in Zappl. Write something there, post it, edit it afterwards and save, then it vanishes from the app. I've seen one or two posts that have been post-Zap edited into full articles, so a little bit of user orientation required there!

### Why an alt account?
---

The one bugbear of using alternative apps on the Steem blockchain at the moment is that they all post to your main feed. Over here, I'm trying to keep to my longer form pieces, articles I've written over at Inverted Audio, playlists and general muses. There are times, however, where I'm looking to just quickly flag something, and that shift in tone can be jarring. Hence the alt account.

For those wanting to know how I did this, I used [SteemInvite](https://steeminvite.com/).

Feel free to check out @fourfourzappl, there isn't much there at the moment but content will come. Interesting articles, photos, tracks I'm digging, hell, I'll even see if I can get up some shots from the Sasha gig I'm off to this weekend - it is all about being in the moment. Plus, when I am heads down in Inverted Audio mode, this is going to be a fantastic way to let off steam.

Amusingly, I originally titled this account /səkˈsɪŋ(k)t/ - as in succinct - but it's plain I should have called it verbose! So the moniker is swapping to the alt account. 

Uh, guess I'm going to need a new footer...

_fun fact: my other half is a graphic designer - she made my DOWNLOADED FOR R. HAWTIN t-shirt you can see up there - I should really ask for help!_
