Seabird is a new way of finding worthwhile writing and other media on the internet: A place for readers to discover, for curators to share, and for writers to feature their latest articles, essays, blog posts, books, and other work. We love the internet. There’s just so, so much of it. Despite all the good things about being online, contemporary social media is awash in toxic negativity. We want to bring back the weird, wonderful, open internet, and limiting shares encourages users to put the best content forward. On Seabird, all users are capped at three short posts per day. We hope you’ll devote them to sharing smart, funny, moving, engaging, and generally worthwhile writing.
