Boundaries are important. Boundaries define entire new worlds of content.
It functions way differently than Medium. It's a follow/follower feed structure.
Medium doesn't prevent you from writing a short post, but we all feel the psychological pressure to not publish something on medium unless we have at least a page of writing. For this reason, blogging is very inaccessible for most people, and most of our daily thoughts.
I invite you to read the introduction to understand Kaia a little better.
- cliveowen 13y agoI do have read it and as I said there's really nothing that sets it apart from Medium. First of all Medium provides collections, secondly a blog is intrinsically a follow/follower medium. And finally boundaries are not important, there's an article of late last year regarding long form content which applies here too: "Reader, do you feel enticed to plunge into a story by the distinction that it is long? Or does your heart sink just a little? Would you feel drawn to a movie or a book simply because it is long? (“Oooh—you should really read Moby-Dick—it’s super long.”)" http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/12/against-long-form-journalism/282256/ http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/12/against-... The same applies to short content.

- dankoss 13y agoI would say your other competition is Tumblr, which can be adapted for short, medium and long content but seems overwhelmingly to be used for slightly-longer-than-twitter posts.
