Returning to social media after ~4yr break. Starting from scratch everywhere
medium.comI'm just realizing that Medium might not be the right spot for me to post these daily updates.
It's nothing like it was before I disappeared a few years ago. When I went to hit publish, it gave me a lengthy explanation that, basically, it's going to be behind a paywall and there's nothing I can do about it (?)
Any ideas where I should post?
Omg the telegraph website is incredible. But what kind of new user experience is that? No About page or anything? What a stunt!
write.as looks awesome. I also might use snap.as for a bunch of my photos.
Thanks so so much. Exactly what I was looking for.
I don't have a Medium account and had no problem reading it without a paywall. Great post BTW! Is the goal for the daily updates just to have an easy place to post something that's too long for Twitter or is it important that there's some sort of built in audience there as well?
As long as it doesn't feel like I'm over-posting (We'll see! And I'll write about that too!) I'll probably post to (1) Twitter (2) Facebook and (3) LinkedIn.
I was def looking forward to the built in audience. Back in the day I had a little following on Medium. Nothing special, but definitely a few dozen people. Half were friends and half weren't. I just followed a few people, but I've been poking around quite a bit and it mostly feels like all the social stuff has been ripped out. The language "upgrade" is really confusing. Makes me think "Premium," yet the value prop is that I'm going to get paid for my writing. (Doubt it.) Medium feels very confused right now.
