#2The first one to gain any significant market penetration outside of Silicon Valley?
Seriously, both can be successful for the niche markets they serve. After all, for tech news, we have The Verge, Engaget, Gizmodo, CNet, TechCrunch, etc....there's likely plenty of room in the market for compelling content and delivery mechanisms.

I wonder the same thing but even Twitter started like that used mainly by tech guys in the begining. But now everyone using Twitter.
But i don't know how they'll work this out in the future. Like if everybody started posting on Medium or Svbtle like Twitter it'll be a mess

I don't think so. They're both just blogging platforms with some sort of editorial system to pick pieces and put them on the front page.
In terms of which I think is better/more likely to gain a wider audience, I think Medium's organization into collections gives them an edge. It feels like it's less about the authors and more about the community. I also really like their inline commenting system.

#5I can't say I know the greatest amount about medium and svbtle, but after looking at their sites multiple times, it seems like they don't have much to offer past each other, or any other blog delivery platform...
And even worse, they would easily become quickly less useful than some sort of pointed aggregator

Yah true but like without getting more users to post content will it be successfull as a platform? Even tumblr had hard time making money even with their content creators

#7Both are yet to give me an account.

#8I think the biggest draw they bring to the blogging world is quality content in a largely clutter-free reading environment. The designs on both are minimal, extremely readable, and fairly well curated. Medium, to me, holds the edge with collections, but I am sure both will continue to grow and add more content while retaining the underlying minimalist interface.

#9I feel so good bloggin on my own server, with my own markdown files and running Jekyll as a platform. I have no regrets and I feel confortable not being tied to a service.
