@kevinmarks @aaranged @netsensei forgot @medium. I downloaded all of my content and microformats v2 are on point. a ton of use cases no nadir...though I don't see the h-entry on view source just a bunch of gobbily gook no human could easily understand.

I am still stoked by a commitment to owning data and portability. Still, give @medium mad points on that front. In fact when I downloaded all my posts they even had proper microformats so importing to my site was super easy. Still I had hopes Medium would help redefine the web

Yes for founders and then laters investors all of these ventures made a ton of money, but not one of the companies ever made a profit under William's leadership. As in taking in more money from customers than you spend. Something we call a real business.

But it's the pull back from the commitment to open web that really scares me. Seems to be same pattern for any of the companies in Ev Williams track record, support the open web, raise a bunch of money, slowly cut off third-party developers and open APIs

I love(d) @medium. You can find my promotion and tenure file there. It was one of the first places I POSSEd my work. I felt like we were helping to shape a better web., but you will never 10x 130 million dollars raised at $5 a month per paying user. Never.

@Medium was the startup that was open enough. You could map to your own domain, they used open APIs. They got the web, but funny thing when you take lots of money people expect lots of money back. I pulled away when I knew the math wasn't sustainable

It saddens me to add API restriction and the shut down of the @medium WordPress plugin to the #IndieWeb page. https://indieweb.org/Medium#Criticism I may knock Medium but its because I have been through every pivot from the beginning. Causes user fatigue.

Yes! Yes! Excited @scsu has decided to fund #femhack, our feminist pedagogy hackathon 3/30-3/31, with #socialjustice award. We would have pulled off the event with guerilla funding but glad to know school recognizes benefits to #nhv #edtechchat #ctedu #cs4all

Imagine if @ventilla and @altschool had to work prominently with brown, black, and poor children rather than children of rich white folk who with no effort would reach an acceptable level of mediocrity regardless of school choice.
