About
Medium is a website and app that allows users to write articles, posts, and stories. The site was founded in 2012 by Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Jack Dorsey, who also co-founded Twitter. Medium has received investment from several high-profile companies, including Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, and Obvious Ventures.
Medium is unique among websites in that it allows users to write articles of any length. Most other sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, are limited to short posts. Medium also allows users to follow other users and "recommend" articles they like. This feature encourages users to explore new content and helps them find interesting articles they may not have otherwise discovered.
Medium has been praised for its user interface, which is clean and easy to use. The site also has a built-in editor that makes it easy to format articles correctly. Medium's design is particularly well-suited for long-form writing, which is often difficult to format correctly on other websites.
Medium has attracted a large following among writers and journalists. The site has been used to publish articles by prominent writers such as Malcolm Gladwell, Bill Gates, and Barack Obama.
