I'm down with the exhaustion with the startup cool kids too. Creating a Svbtle alternative isn't all that hard so I don't have much to say about that but I just want to say I like the sentiment and I agree that someone will come out of nowhere to win the post-Tumblr era.
Also, I'm one of your first few paragraphs you called Georgia a sans-serif font. That's wrong. Georgia is a serif. Serif fonts have the little stylized decoration dealies on the ends of the lines (man that is a really inarticulate but you know what I mean) kind of like, well, Georgia and Times New Roman and such. The sans-serifs are the ones like Helvetica and Arial. You seem to be a bright guy but among a lot of web savvy people, especially designers and developers, a rookie mistake like that can tota

- tptacek 14y agoAnyone who ever tries to build any kind of collaborative publication online with any kind of voice is going to have to be selective about who writes for them, and is going to run into this "cool kids" stuff. You need to get over it. The very notion that you'd be embittered about not being able to blog with someone else betrays a naivete about what's important and what's not. What, you're not one of Dustin Curtis' cool kids? Well, neither is Paul Graham, or, for that matter, William Vollman. I'm guessing neither is fuming about it. Stop acting like it's a personal slight that Curtis doesn't have you writing for his project. It's not. Not writing at Svbtle says nothing about you at all. The only thing that does: complaining about not writing at Svbtle.
