Micro.blog vs LifeLetter

Micro.blog is the fastest way to blog and a safe community for microbloggers. Micro.blog is the blog you will actually use. Micro.blog shows recent posts from sites and people you are following. Microblog posts are short — quick thoughts, links to web sites, and replies to friends. It's a fast timeline that's powered by the open web. Blogs hosted on Micro.blog include: * Short microblog posts or full-length posts. * Markdown for styling. * Custom themes. * Categories, photos, podcasts, video, and more. Already have a blog? Use Micro.blog to follow friends and post to external blogs compatible with WordPress and the Micropub API. Instead of trying to be a full social network, Micro.blog is a thin layer that glues the open web together, making it more useful. Micro.blog adds discovery and conversations on top of previously unconnected blog posts.

LifeLetter is a quieter kind of social app. Instead of chasing an audience, you write stories about your real life and share them with the people who care. Family, old friends, the people from your actual life. Write a story, not a post. Give it a title, then shape it section by section: paragraphs, photos, quotes, short clips. Honest, vivid, yours. Two minutes of practice a day. A different exercise every morning. A six-word story. Fifty words about today. The photo you didn't take. What you write is yours, and any of it can grow into a story when you're ready. Set your rhythm. Choose the day and time your stories arrive. Your readers start to look forward to them, the way you'd look forward to a good conversation. It lands in their Front Page. No algorithm, no strangers, no ads. Just your words, to your people, right on time. They can read, respond, and stay close. Connect with people you know. LifeLetter isn't for building a following. You connect with the people you want to hear from, and their stories appear in your Front Page too. Newspapers for groups. Start a shared publication: a family newspaper, a friend group, a team. Everyone writes on their own rhythm; readers get one place for all of it. Stories that last. Yours don't vanish in 24 hours. They live on your profile, for your people to return to. Someday, so will you. Write slowly. Arrive with intention. Now in English and Spanish. LifeLetter follows your phone's language. Privacy and safety: You control who sees your stories. You can report or block anyone, and you can permanently delete your account and all your data at any time from within the app.
