Has anyone had a look at the new "revolutionary" social media site Medium? It is the newest creation of the guys behind Twitter and Blogger. They say it is going to revolutionise online publishing, but from my first impressions it just looks a lot like pinterest and a little bit like Flickr. Would be interested what other people thought about it! Essentially the site looks like it allows people to post their pictures, videos etc and they are then collated into groups according to themes and people can rate them.

I still not see the site, friend. What is the name of the site, friend? I want to visit it and compare how revolutionaries the social media on the net.
I will revolutionaries if the site will make a different from facebook and twitter. It is revolutionaries if members get something from it. Where facebook and twitter didn't share anything from their earnings...
There are many revolutionaries, social media on the net today. They have what they called revenue sharing...and get paid members from their activities. These is what it called revolutionaries...

THe site is calle Medium. The Web page address is www.medium.com. At the moment you can only register if you have a twitter account. check it out, but you can forget the revenue sharing idea - that is not what these guys are about!

Not at all. There are still other social networking site on the world wide web who are not popular. It is hard still to overcome facebook and twitter. Maybe having a unique feature will do, a feature which other social networking sites have.

Doesn't look to me like they're off to a good start. If you just go to "medium.com" you can't get past the first page without signing in. I found this site: http://gizmodo.com/5935016/what-is-medium which has links to some of the other pages. I guess you have to be a twitter member?
Besides confusing, I don't see a lot that's different. I guess we'll see, but it doesn't look all that promising from here.

This really is one of those sites to watch. In order to be serious about publishing it needs to be thinking of paying contributors though.
