I'm glad that @dan is back. But I never liked that post, especially the Trojan Horse line:
A blogging platform that makes it possible for everyone to earn their way in is just a trojan horse. It is a means of hiding the vegetables (honest money) in the food (fun content).
Why did someone who isn't interested in blogging platforms, except as a means to another end, create two blogging platforms? I know why, it's a rhetorical question. It's such a convoluted scheme, like opening a flower stall across the road from the girl you have a crush on. This explains why we rely on PeakD for a decent interface, and why Voice's design sucks (haven't tried posting there yet, I just got my invitation this week).
Meta: I hate this tiny slit I have to edit my comment in. Something went wrong and a phrase was repeated.
