I believe Medium is the next Wordpress because not only allows you to publish but also to consume in an elegant and productive way. The recommendation engine is quite good and the daily newsletter sent by email is good enough to make me want to check the stories right away. They make an extensive use of images that really adds to the user experience.
I used to be a Wordpress fan but now Medium has caught my attention.
So in essence it is not about the technical platform, it is about effective production and consumption, and Medium hits the nail on both.
- joecool1029 10y ago>I believe Medium is the next Wordpress Medium is a service, Wordpress is a platform. If you're talking about a replacement for Wordpress.com then you have an argument. But this submission was regarding the platform/CMS of Wordpress so your argument is apples to oranges.
- thinkling 10y agoThe context is sites with custom features. Medium isn't in that market. Medium is the new Blogspot.

- xiaoma 10y agoIs Medium even customizable now? I've mostly been avoiding the site due to getting sick of the tacky tweet-begging UX whenever you select any of the text in a post. A huge number of WP sites are professional or semiprofessional and have plugins and/or customization that allow the operators to run a business from the site. Can Medium do any of that? Are there plugins for it yet?
