Thinking about renaming Micro.blog to the letter M. The subtitle will be “the everything app”. Blogs, pages, photos, bookshelves, social network, bookmarks, highlights, podcasts, link archiving, email newsletters… and maybe banking features early next year. Anyone else doing something like that? 🤪

@manton I checked m.com, and that wasn’t allowed, and m.blog stood as taken, but then Whois said:

@odd I think single-letter domains are no longer allowed. I remember looking into this when Twitter was renamed… There are only a few .com domains that snuck in before the rules changed.

@manton love it! Just add live video streaming and I’m paying the money again! (I’d rather pay you than the Musk)

@vincent All joking aside, if there was a physical office I’d be up for a nice orange neon logo. 🙂
