Dixon wrote an article a few weeks ago about "Come for the Tool, Stay for the Network." http://cdixon.org/2015/01/31/com...
I think it really applied to Medium in this case. I use Medium's editor to just flesh out ideas. If there was a Mac App that was only the text editor, I'd pay money for that.
Anyways, the new update reminds me a little of Twitter / Svbtle (when you compose an idea). I think it's great.
The "come for the tool stay for the network idea" is an important problem to solve and think about. I originally came to Medium for the tool. I wanted a simple way to write and publish my ideas. Along the way, the network allowed me to meet people like Ryan Hoover, Winnie Lim, and a few others. So yea.
