Big blunder but not surprised that TRAI made the email ids public. I’m rather surprised that their server managed to capture so many emails.
Dear @instagram,

@zainabbawa But more important for the community at large so that more professionals, organisers recognise the problem.
@zainabbawa Participants are a part of the community. You could play it out at a conference.

Stories from the Nepal valley is saddening. Stories from the Everest base camp is spine chilling.
@PinguicVerse Define “right moment” and work towards making it happen. That’s the only way.
@jonathandmello All new device should come with a selfie camera that takes photo of the device itself. Will solve much trouble.
Last year at #metarefresh someone doubted if HTML can handle 10k records.
Now looking at TRAI’s >161k lines of HTML dump perform so well.
TRAI has put out the responses to the consultation paper online. Yay!

@jackerhack Stopped accepting signatures. :/
Mom gives me a phone call to report earthquake. That kind of day. xkcd.com/723/
@bhavyakhanna Meh.
Also, Mr. @narendramodi also has the hologram technology, no? Why not use that to inaugurate buildings?
@keeperofthekeys Not even choppers, I say. This → twitter.com/souvikdg/statu…
5 kms outside Dwarka and there’s a cop every 50 metres. Massive inconvenience to public. I think @narendramodi should stick to the radio.
All #DTC buses leaving Dwarka have been rerouted because Mr. @narendramodi is coming over to inaugurate some building. :/

@Grofers You know what? I’ve done online transactions before without going through so many hoops.
@SirLoondry In this case it doesn’t because you’re using the social login buttons. It’s clearly expected that people recognise these.
@SirLoondry Btw, sometimes using multiple expressions can make things more inclusive.
@SirLoondry Oh right. :p
Guess by that time I was upset enough to not care about the details.

@twitortat Hey, didn’t come across you on the second day. Back in town now. Say hi if you happen to pass by Delhi.
Hello Delhi. No Uber surge. No random bandhs. Buses plying smoothly. You rock!
@sshreyas Good to see you at #metarefresh. If you’re passing by Delhi, drop by @_basestation.
@sshreyas Terms like freedom and equality are really loaded and understood differently by different people.
@sshreyas Can’t disagree but at the same time maybe incomplete.
@sshreyas Elaborate, maybe? What sort of freedom and equality?
Hey airlines,
Great service. I’ve a request though. Could you factor in the passenger’s waistline while composing the meal tray? #fatmansays
jitendravyas A new term has come up in my mind after #metarefresh “IX” = Investor’s experience
Right about now I wish to crucify the guy who designed non-reclining airline seats. #fatmansays

Chilling while bracing up to take on the bandh and reaching the airport in the morning.

As anticipated, fantastic full talk by @WishyArora. Kudos to @Cleartrip for sharing data and not challenging our common sense. #metarefresh
@bibhasdn @jackerhack No problem!
@bibhasdn Yes it was me.

@spatro Hey, are you not at #metarefresh?
bibhasdn @jackerhack the talk makes more sense if you watch from end to start. People pointing out problems with app only, so the brand embrace web.

Underwhelmed by the @Flipkart talk at #metarefresh. Totally playing it safe here, IMHO.
First QOTD at #metarefresh today:
“Data win arguments, sometimes common sense do, but mostly data” —@_Amar_Nn
@bhavyakhanna Never heard of “binge eat the night before”. Always “binge eat the afternoon before”.
Excellent introductory talk to CSS blend modes by @shwetank at #metarefresh — low on code, more on possibilities.
Auto-ed to #metarefresh with possibly the best auto guy in town. Ex-coffee board employee. Has travelled the country. Food recommendations.

Yes yes yes, flash talk is getting fun at #metarefresh.
@Cleartrip, please do one!
@bhasky Absolutely. Important to dig in and determine the cause — and that will be a design exercise / user testing challenge.
