Interesting concept. Do you have an example blog? I would suggest linking to one from your landing page.

I'm having deja vu. Isn't this how Twitter began, thus the need for character limits?

Very, very interesting.

Shameless plug: since you're not allowing your users to modify and style their blogs' HTML you could make use of the concept of classless templates: http://websitesfortrello.github.io/classless/

Cool, I'll take a look.

This might sound silly, but what do you think is interesting about it? We FEEL like it's good for something but we're trying to discover what that is. Don't tell PG I said that...

Well, I don't know. Sometimes I came up with something on my mind I would like to "post somewhere". I don't use Twitter, so Textingway could be my solution.

However, since I'm not in the US I'll not use it. Also, besides having these thoughts every day, a little later I remember that I quit Facebook because it forced me to write things I wasn't sure I wanted to write, then I decide I'm not going to post anything. I'm a peculiar case, probably.

I was thinking earlier today that I'd probably use twitter if it was text based like it used to be.

You should definitely put some example/feature threads on your website.
