He uses twitter almost like a blog
Yep, and I'm more than a little disappointed in myself about that. Something about the form factor of writing there and the perceived "well it doesn't have to be shippable, it's just twitter" quality bar lets me keep up a habit of writing there almost daily while I struggle "sitting down to write essays" even on a monthly basis.

- 0xCMP 9y agoI don't think this is a bad thing. In fact there probably is room in normal websites and blogs to allow you to write shorter "less quality" material along with the higher quality stuff. I'm kind of convinced it's something like Medium + Twitter: A timeline of "tweets" on the home page where you can do everything you could on twitter but on the website (possibly syndicated) where you could also announce/promote articles written. One cool thing I realized is you can repromote old articles on your website when they become relevant again with a small blub just like most people end up doing all the time on Twitter. But on your website, owned by you, etc. etc.
