As I wrote several months ago [phoneboy.com], the potential audience for micro.blog is relatively small, namely people who are some combination of:

  • Mac/iOS/IndieWeb centric
  • Technical enough to set up their own blog
  • Willing to give Manton Reece $5/mo

This excludes a lot of actors with nefarious intent, but it also excludes a significant group of people who might otherwise be excellent members of the community.

It may be right for someone but I don’t know that it’s right for me.
