With a few differences this is a well established type of site in Japan. I've mentioned it before, but my wife posts about our life there. People can follow you, but there is no feedback aside from you seeing how many people read your post and how many followers you have. There are no recommendations; you have to organically check out the people who read your article to see if you like their writing (if they have any), or add people from an out of band source. Content is as ephemeral as you make it. It's very common for people to only leave a post up for a day or two, but it's up to the author. If you are interested it's called ameba (www.ameba.co.jp). It's not the only one like this, just the one my wife uses.
