What made Twitter grow was Retweeting, but interaction changed when a Like button was introduced. So hard to find good follows when people don't crop up in your timeline. People who followed you over there don't know you're here either. I'd encourage people to repost good stuff as a civic duty! #FF

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.
