Summary

The tContinuation Twitterformat (e.g., /cont This is a continuation of the previous tweet.) makes it clear that either the current tweet will be continued in the next tweet ("to be continued", if used at the end of a tweet) or that the current tweet is a continuation of the previous tweet ("continued", if used at the start of a tweet). Twitter clients that implement tContinuation can display a message on tweets that are "to be continued" to alert users that there is more to come and "continued" tweets may be combined to display as a single tweet. The tContinuation Twitterformat has two shorthand forms (the semantically-and-typographically-correct horizontal ellipsis character; U+2026, and the misused-yet-ubiquitous three dots, ...).

You guys are great! Ninety sites have the Singularity badge on them and the number is growing every day. I couldn't be happier and yet it also means that I now have ninety emails that I need to reply to. While I've started to answer each one personally in turn, what I really need is the ability to respond to all the emails with a single message to say "Hey, I got your email, thanks. You'll be among the first to know what Singularity is in the next few days!"

I've been tagging messages with the label "Singularity Badges" in GMail as the emails were coming in (note to self: next time, also reply to the message at this point and they won't pile up!) So I thought I'd fire up Mail app, select all the messages with the label, hit Reply and Bob's your uncle.
