#42Can it do code markup? I was looking for something the other day and I didn't want to set up my own 'blog'. Tumblr couldn't support Github gists for some reason, so really that' all you need. Edit: On first glance, it doesn't seem to be able to embed Github gists. Darn.
I run https://snipt.net/, and I just built in a blogging platform, seems like it might be what you're looking for: https://blog.snipt.net/announcing-the-sniptnet-blogging-plat...

what does it bring more to : post a blog on the platform you like (tumblr, blogger, your own code...) and then twit the link?
The "feature" I was shooting for is zero-signup. It authenticates you via Twitter and that's it.
Interesting. That's worth mentioning on your landing page. I overlooked that.

#44Reminds me a lot like http://checkthis.com/ except a micro-micro blog form

Twitter has three permission levels: Read Only, Read and Write, and Read, Write, and Direct Messages.
In order to have it Tweet on your behalf it needs Read and Write permissions. Along with that comes all the other permissions. If I could exclude it I would.

#46No text-based summary, introduction, or blurb? Not everyone is able to view video at the moment they come across your site; if they can't immediately read what it's about, they may not come back to find out.
Agreed and great point. Thanks.
The video won't play in my Android by the way.
How about that blurb? ;)

There are only 3 types of permission levels in the twitter api: read, write and write with DM access.
Those displayed there are the details of the write access.

There are quite a few long message services. Most (if not all) are plain text. Prolifi.cc allows styling via Markdown, images, etc. More of a proper article post and less wall of text.
So basically tumblr with zero sign-up?
Less than that. Tumblr has it's own followers/following/social network. This does nothing more than "attach" a blog post to a tweet. apitaru put it quite well elsewhere in the comments.

#49i really like this idea! i do not have a blog but i would love to start one, and i also do not use twitter much. but like this idea. but before i would love to see some posts examples.
So you don't have a blog, you don't use twitter. But you like the idea. This thread is getting really suspicious.
This is my twitter
https://twitter.com/#!/SimoneMasieroDv
with a grand total of 6 tweets this year.
I agree with you that this thread is suspicious due to the number of votes it receive, when i first commented it had 11 votes and no comments. But anyway i can grant you i have nothing to do with it. I have a personal website, but it's sadly unfinished, http://hackertyper.net/portfolio
I just like the idea of not having to register to a new service to make some posts.
