Now's a good time to mention that there are tons of awesome open-source hosting systems:
• WriteFreely (@writeas__) for blogging
• Ghost (@ghost) for newsletters and blogging

and so many more
We have maintenance planned for Sunday, July 23 at 17:00 UTC to upgrade our database servers.
During this ~15 minute period, you won't be able to publish or manage content, and some blogs and posts may be unavailable.

everyone is trying to come up with a copy of twitter when we actually want a copy of 2007-2012 niche hobby blogs with a Google RSS reader that aggregated them into one feed
We no longer support cross-posting to Twitter from our platform. write.as/blog/ending-our-twi…
