Overall Satisfaction with Medium

Medium is a highly visible blogging platform with an excellent feature set and UX. Medium is used as an alternative to the company's primary blog for any posts that either promote the company, blog or sometimes clients. Because Medium already has a large following the click-through and impressions of these posts can be quite high.
  • User Experience - Their UX is top notch.
  • Feature set - Minimal, but not overwhelmingly simple. They've found an excellent balance.
  • Design.
  • Low barrier to entry - All you need is a twitter account to get started.
  • Honestly can't think of any.
  • Medium is free.
There are a handful of other blogging platforms available. The biggest difference between Medium and others is how streamlined it is. It's straight to the point and is excellent at showing related content, be it your own or another users. There's no new design to navigate between posts, everything is where you expect it to be letting you focus on the post.
It really depends on the need. I don't see Medium as a place for all of your blog posts. It's not a dumping ground-- it's better suited for your best posts. If you're posting something to gain extra exposure about your company, brand or another subject it's an excellent resource because it's easily discoverable. Choose what's posted to Medium wisely.
