@amit One of my favorite things about MB is this lack of required title. If it’s just something short, no need from a title. When I find myself writing something longer, then I’m willing to come up with a title.

@pimoore Absolutely, and unfortunately Bearblog isn’t alone. Every new blogging platform starts with Titled posts as default. Micro.blog and Write.as got it right – only ones I use.

@amit This is a big reason why I came back to micro(dot)blog. Just dead simple to post something… anything, and just get it out into the ether… That and the active community that engages and conversates around here. It’s really good for asynchronous chatter too.
