I think he's still here...

Oh yeah? I can't find a single one of his comments any more, just the threads where he was mentioned; in whispers and notes under the table.

Sounds like a line from an early draft of A Design For Life.

Sean is awesome, and Sean being on Twitter makes Twitter better. It would be kind of ironic, in a nice way, if the most taciturn Manic ends up being the most tweet-happy.

Not to be outdone, Nicky's posted on Twitter a few Mitch Ikeda pictures.
But Sean wins for informing not only was the guitar with the Welsh flag was bought from a shop after being in there for ages and it's sound is "all mouth and no trousers" in confirmation of a question put to him. By Shug of all people!
I'm still buzzing over him retweeting my message about if Abbey Road was being closed down we'd never hear the end of it.

Shit one.

(Nice to get a last minute glimpse of Neale Howell's cover to So Why So Sad/Found That Soul on the wall though.)

Sean tweets a lot.

Quite surreal to sit here with Know Your Enemy playing in the background (Royal Correspondent) and Sean actually posting in real time on the Twitter at the same time.

What a time to be alive.

Maybe he's not typing. Maybe he uses a voice recognition app. Or maybe he has a whole army of typing robots at his service.

I'm curious as to why a bunch of his tweets only show up on https://mobile.twitter.com/seanmooremanic but not https://twitter.com/seanmooremanic

I've noticed that discrepancy before though and never discovered the reason why. The mobile version of his twitter feed looks like a bloody reddit ama.

Ahh of course, the mobile site defaults to that.

If you'd told me this time last week I'd have been following Sean Moore having a GIF battle on Twitter with a random fan (I assume,) I'd have said you were off your chump. But here we are.
