  Today we're announcing Substack Notes. Notes lets writers publish short-form posts and recommend almost anything: quotes, links, images, and comments. It's coming soon and will look like this https://twitter.com/...

  I've been testing this feature out, and at the risk of hyperbole, I'll say that it may end up being the Twitter killer that so many people are looking for. https://on.substack.com/...

  substack started as an email service that doubled as a blog, added podcasts and some community features, and is now building social-media-ish things https://techcrunch.com/... in product terms a very interesting company

  This new Notes feature at @Substack is really intriguing: a social media feed based on subscriptions, not on ads. Very interested in and excited about this, especially with the Twitter experience worsening seemingly by the day. https://twitter.com/...

  I've been using Notes for a few weeks. Two thumbs up. https://twitter.com/...

  In November I posted this Substack about how hard it is to move what I love(d) about Twitter—short quips—to Substack, for a variety of reasons. https://ibogost.substack.com/ ... Today, Substack has announced what basically looks like Subscription Twitter. Cool! But here's the pro…
