I started the timer, clicked Micro Blogs ‘post’, pasted in this sentence, clicked ‘Post’, turned to the browser and refreshed the screen.
This sentence was there at the top of the published blog page in less than 5 seconds.
Removing The Hurdles To Blogging
"If the goal of your blog is to blog, i.e. to write and publish, then start by removing everything that gets in the way of that goal."
"Eschew anything beyond writing the content of a post. No art direction. No social media imagery. No comments. No webmentions. No analytics. If you really want to be ruthless, no embedded rich media (images, video, etc.) only links to rich media."
"Imagine stripping away everything in the way of writing until the only thing staring you back in the face is a blinking cursor and an empty text file. That’ll force you to think about writing."

I think that's what Micro Blog can do - and now it seems so can Drummer. Although I think the MicroBlog 'bennies' outweigh Drummer's.
