Its about time for facebook to buy medium and roll it into some sort of longer form content portion of their offering.
LinkedIn/Microsoft acquiring them would also be interesting since writing on LI is absolutely horrible.
Seems medium is lost product wise. It is getting progressively worse and the new "clap" feature is hilariously bad.
- danielharrison 9y agoI like the clap feature. I wasn't quite sure what to think of it at the start but it definitely better than a binary 'like'. It gives me the ability to drop 'claps' as I'm scrolling through an article and liking certain parts. I get to the end and there's a total of however-many claps I've clapped. I hope medium are tracking the position each clap was made, along with certain things like if a user genuinely read the article - opposed to those who just clapped from the front page or at the top of the article without scrolling.
- jmnicolas 9y agoDo you really want a writer to wright for claps or to say what she has to say ?
- makecheck 9y agoOne problem with that is Facebook is likely to hide all content behind a login wall. At least now the text is accessible.
- dredmorbius 9y agoThat creates the obvious problem that Facebook would then own it, and use it to feed its own gaping personal behavioural tracking maw. No. Fucking. Thanks.
