Its a very good match for a phone interface. So its immediately mobile and usable unlike a lot of blog interfaces. Its basically a newswire for the Internet. Some write for it better than others. Some news fits better than others.

There are alternatives in between a blog and Twitter. Facebook, medium.com and Tumblr are all trying to occupy that space, but none are as easy to use from a phone.
