Medium (publishing platform)
Medium is a blog-publishing platform. It was founded by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams in August 2012. The platform has evolved into a hybrid of non-professional contributions and professional, paid contributions, an example of social journalism. Some of its publications include the online music magazine ''Cuepoint'', edited by Jonathan Shecter, and ''Backchannel'', a technology publication edited by Steven Levy.
== Background ==
Williams created Medium from the ground up, with the idea of encouraging users to create longer posts than the 140-character standard of Twitter. Williams stated, "There's been less progress toward raising the quality of what's produced." By April 2013, Williams reported there were 30 full-time staff working on the platform,〔 including a vacancy for a "Storyteller" role,〔 and that it was taking "98 percent" of his time. By August, Williams reported that the site was still small, though he was still optimistic about it, saying "We are trying to make it as easy as possible for people who have thoughtful things to say".
The platform software provides a full WYSIWYG user interface when editing online, with various options for formatting provided as the user runs over text. Once an entry is posted, it can be recommended and shared by other people, in a similar manner to Twitter. Posts can be upvoted in a similar manner to Reddit, and content can be assigned a specific theme, in the same way as Tumblr. A specific difference from Williams' earlier service Blogger is that posts are sorted by topic rather than writer. The platform uses the system of recommendations, similar to "likes" on Facebook, to up vote the best articles and stories. The Tag system divides the stories into different categories to let the audiences choose. Users can create a new account using an email address or a Twitter, Facebook, or Google account.
