First beta of Inkwell for Android was rejected by Google, re-submitted. But good news they’ve approved a round of bug fixes in the Micro.blog app for Android.

@manton why rejected? Curious

@jtr @lukebouch Google didn’t like that we were using the “News” category. I wasn’t sure that was right anyway, so switched to “Social”. Shrug.

@manton oh interesting. I guess “News” is reserved for legacy media companies.

@manton ha. Doesn’t it say news is “Newspapers, news aggregators, magazines, blogging”? (My emphasis). I figured it wouldn’t make much sense. Oh well.

@jtr Yeah, I clicked all the “news aggregator” options too. Ultimately the category doesn’t matter much because I expect discovery will come from Micro.blog links and the web.
