Agreed and great point. Thanks.

#24So. You created an application to blog and to be able to post that on twitter. I don't get why this is #3 on HN right now.
You're judging to quickly. Take a step back and reconsider. The point is in the use-case, not the mechanics. He is allowing people to blog ad-hoc, using twitter as the glue to otherwise loose content containers. By doing this, he is extending the light(er) state-of-mind of twitting into blogging (which is otherwise a 'heavier' commitment). It's clever.

Maybe ;) There are opportunities for both. I'm not committed to any one path yet.

#28TweetDeck used to let you post long messages. Have they stopped doing that, or is Prolifi.cc trying to let you do something else?

Also I would put the page title blurb ("use Twitter as your blog") somewhere prominently in the page text. I had to read around here to figure out what itch this was scratching.

#30Where's the target group? Because the question is: how many people use twitter and don't have a blog or website?
I have a blog BECAUSE twitter doesn't do this.
