Title: Bitcoin on Medium
Post by: Jocky on October 26, 2013, 12:19:10 PM
The founders of Twitter started a new blogging platform: Medium.
The whole system is minimalistic just like Twitter, but users are able to post full blog posts with formatting.
Medium is based around the system of collaboration through 'collections', a group of bloggers can create a closed collection in which they can all write independently and open collections are free for everybody to write in, like subreddits.

I started an open collection 'Bitcoin Talk' in the hope that Bitcoin will also be represented on this new medium. I can imagine some people that are willing to discuss Bitcoin, but aren't tech savvy enough for a forum like Bitcointalk, hopefully this will pull them into the community.

If you want to write something, feel free to post anything you like. Also, if you or your business have a Bitcoin related blog, you can just link to your blogpost in Bitcoin Talk.

Cheers

I'll check it out. Sounds like a good idea to spread the word about bitcoin.

Cool cool cool, when I posted my first personal post, I saw someone else beat me to it.

I was wondering why it looked exactly like twitter. But I thought, "Where's the branding? And why is there a follow button if I'm not signed up?"
