Medium (service)
[edit]- ... that TechCrunch's Drew Olanoff thought Medium, the service created by Twitter's founders, got its name from being a "medium" size platform in between that and Blogger?

5x expanded by Ritchie333 (talk). Self nominated at 16:27, 13 September 2013 (UTC).
- Article - created new on 11 September, so new enough; 1774 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig/duplication detector; assessed as start class.
- Hook - within length criteria at 167 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #5 in middle of the final paragraph; I have to admit I'm not really a fan of Facebook, Twitter etc but this short article did make me aware of something I'd never heard of, so I guess it fulfils the "DYK that ..." aspect as I have to answer "No, I didn't know that".
- QPQ done; no image used.
This nomination complies with the DYK criteria and has now sat around for ages. SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:22, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
