Both Branch and Medium seems pretty exciting. I can now see why I can live with Twitter as a one-way link sharing media company. However, I can only wish that Branch would let people be in control of the environment they host for authentic conversation, i.e, they should start with tackling the issues of noise, spammers, trolls etc. Make things authentic for people so they feel trust towards conversing online.

Medium seems little confusing at first but as a new publishing platform (over Wordpress and the rest of the old not-so-evolving-anymore), I look forward to participating.
