Micro.blog is a place ripe for blog-based projects. So many people who at the very least have feelings about blogging.

@simonwoods Yes! It’s also ripe for project blogs (in my case, blogs as part of art and research projects with a time span of several months or years). Hosted Hugo / micro.blogs are such a natural fit for this: fast, convenient and up and running in no time. I would seriously consider this if there was a subscription plan for ‘unlimited’ blogs. I wonder if @manton would consider this?

@ArnoldHoogerwerf That's definitely an idea worth considering, not least because it sounds like it lines up with the philosophy of making blogs the centre of our ideas.

There is also an interesting space between individuals and organisations when it comes to blog hosting; I think projects is a good word to define that and Micro.blog could well be best positioned to offer a fast and friendly option in that space.

@simonwoods Agreed. In my case, there’s a blurry line between me as a person and me as an organisation, and a project blog would mainly be beneficial for the latter part. But a project with an accompanying microblog can of course be anything one wants it to be! For the hosting part of the micro.blog business an interesting area to explore, although it could be a bit confusing for the social / timeline integration of micro.blog.

@ArnoldHoogerwerf @simonwoods There's definitely all kinds of potential. I could easily see my family eventually paying for 4-5 blogs: one for my wife, one for the adolescent (should we ever convince her of the true cost of Instagram), a shared family account for pictures for the grandparents, and one for a book I think a class I'm in should write. Definitely looking foward to shared accounts!
