Aaron Griffin Yeah loathe as I am to admit it, WordPress is its own complete social media platform and it’s pretty good. It encourages long form (which I like a lot) and has tools for cross communication that are really good. Pingbacks are especially nice, a feature G+ could have used.

One might complain that it’s in the hands of Faceless Corporate Entity but right now I don’t see that as incredibly different from being at the mercy of Faceless Nerd Volunteer. I mean the actual abuses are different but honestly the corporate abuses are more predictable.
